My biggest atlas project yet

[Eowyn Cwper]

Thank you!

Commissioner here; Eowyn has been excellent throughout the entire process, very impressed with the work so far. Looking forward to getting into some of the more interesting topograhpy in coming weeks and months.

Looking good Eowyn, I've been pretty much a lurker here on the Guild myself, have been dabbling with Tear's awesome Saderan tutorial, but like you came across Artifexian's video series which is sublime. I was just wondering did you do tectonic plates in GPlates or did you just skip to your landforms?

Looking forward to further developments

The tectonics were mapped on gplates, but I didn't use any of the simulation features; instead I consulted with geology professors at my school for most of it. You'd be surprised how excited some geology faculty get about the idea- might be worth chatting even if you aren't a student.

I've made major edits to my tectonics throughout the process- don't be afraid to change them if you've got a good idea.

[Stìophan]

Yeah, I'm pretty much having to do that. Thanks for the info, sadly I'm the other side of 40. I can image however indeed how excited the geology faculty became.

You don't have to be a student to talk to the faculty, and you don't have to be in your twenties to be a student. Almost all schools list professors in an online directory that doesn't require a login. Just email them and ask if they want to get coffee!
