    You got it! (Again, don't mind the quality reduction.)

    It might be my eyesight, but to me it looks like there's a light fog over everything. That suggests to me that maybe the contrast could be increased. But, as I mentioned before, things like this maybe should be influenced by what the commissioner needs or wants.

    Hello Eowyn,

    That is very impressive. I absolutely love your beautiful rivers. (How did you manage to get them to look so realistic? Are they hand-drawn?)

    I do have a general inability to discern your tectonic plates based on this presentation. Did you draft a tectonic map before deciding on your continents? Or did you play it by ear?

    My only improvement suggestion would be to eliminate or tone down the rivers where deserts are likely to be found, for instance on the southwest corner of the huge continent on your top right of the map. If you have a different circulation scheme, please disregard this suggestion.

    Overall I very much like this map. I'm eagerly looking forward to the final project!

    Peter

    Looking fantastic now Eowyn, love your river basins. This work sets a very high standard in my opinion.

    Thank you all for your feedback, it means a lot as always!

    Yes, the rivers are fully handdrawn, as is the rest of the map really! They were also toned down in some places. There are tectonics involved, but the commissioner took care of that (if I remember correctly he had his ideas checked by a specialist).

    And now, well… It's finished! I'm excited to share it around, as I've been allowed to! I'm using the reduced version for the Guild, but you can find the uncompressed original on my website. I hope you've enjoyed the creation process, and thanks again for sticking around!

    It's gorgeous. That huge plateau is my favorite. You're truly talented at drawing the atlas style, there's so many cool details in the terrain to find, well done.

    One thing I forgot to mention Eowyn, I would love to see the map with the plate boundaries just to get an idea of the tectonics. Superb work I really have to say.

    Commissioner here!

    @stiophan- https://imgur.com/WjM3xxv here is a very shorthand version of the tectonics- the tectonics simulation actually uses a piece of software only available through my university, but trust me when I saw I worked with a pair of geology professors on it so it's a bit more complicated.

    Ah, that's fantastic, thanks very much @mrwizard70. That gives a fair indication to be fair.
