Ooh, what a fascinating concept! Great start!
January 2019 Challenge: RingWorld
Hello , I might try this time to partecipate , as I am usually never able to finish or partecipate in one ...
I got an idea and I hope to be able to pursue it , but can't assure I will be able to finish ... so don't count on it ... but ...
In any case here is a preliminary idea ...
I yet dunno what technique to adopt but anyway ...

Thankyou.
Here an Update...

I added a greebled surface on borders, I am planning a gas giant on the right or may be a scorched Earth ... then a moon on left or "the Moon" and then the sun in distance ...
the dark area supposely should feature night lights ...
I saw the title read "ringworld" but this wasn't quite what I imaginedWhat a curious concept. Is this some existing sci-fi setting or something you just came up with?
@Kellerica I do see some resemblance to the Halo ring worlds. @Naima Awesome challenge to take on though! Can't go wrong there.
(Btw, I am a huge Halo fan, so I am looking forward to seeing this one.)

Interesting and quite difficult, I'd say... but I'm pretty sure you're gonna do wonders with this, Naima.
Interesting! Depending on the actual size, this could be considered as a Banks Orbital. These are quite big though, since they have to rotate with a period of ~ 1day with a earth-like gravity. About 3 million KM in diameter.

Thanks for the thrust, I have abandoned the idea to manually paint as I think it would not look consistant with other elements like mechanical Ring and planets ... so I will try to make a photobashing of real maps ... hope it wil come better than my actual latest attempts ... in meanwhile I improved a bit the ring ...

This is one of the possilbe ideas, the other is instead a tilted look and a different perspective, I have to choose one and stick with it as I can't make both , still not decided ...

Aboutcalculations sincerely I didn't make any , neither I intend to lol ... I am just making as it comes ... Not even sure I will be able to complete as photobashing is seeming a little complicate ...
I love that tilted perspective - WIN!!!
