    It has been quite a while but here is an update with a new continent in the making. We need to make sure to keep in mind that a planet is not flat so any tips on how to avoid a conflict between me two continents would be appreciated.

    Awesome to see you jump right into the next mega project The shape of the new continent is really great. I'm not an expert about projection issues, but what kind of conflicts do you fear? Shouldn't be everything fine as long as you use the same projection for both maps?
    Looking forward to see it coming together ... and stay strong!

    I wish to avoid coliding them at the poles. In other words, I am drawing a world map on sheets of paper and I wish to avoid disregarding measurements and having some overlaping.

    No we do not create, we simply discover who we are.

    Dont have them touch the poles. The pole can either be land or water but not both.

    small tiny update, just to show how the two continents look when put next to each other.

    I wish I could see it better because as Voolf said, that looks so freaking cool. Are you going to put them together like that and hang it on a wall?

    If you click on the picture it expands and then you should have a magnifying glass with a plus sign. Clicking it again will expand it again.

    Looks really great! Keep it up!

    Well... I can't put it on my wall... I live in small chambers of the university's dorms. good luck XD Thanks all for your comments.

    Okay, I am now home for christmas vacations and therefore will be spending once more some time on my maps. Now my first task is to decide the dimensions of the planet so I do not collide the continents and maybe actually figure out if I want a third one if the space allows me to.

    Starting with a quote from the following website : https://www.space.com/17638-how-big-is-earth.html
    "Radius, diameter and circumference
    The radius of Earth at the equator is 3,963 miles (6,378 kilometers), according to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. However, Earth is not quite a sphere. The planet's rotation causes it to bulge at the equator. Earth's polar radius is 3,950 miles (6,356 km) — a difference of 13 miles (22 km).

    Using those measurements, the equatorial circumference of Earth is about 24,901 miles (40,075 km). However, from pole-to-pole — the meridional circumference — Earth is only 24,860 miles (40,008 km) around. This shape, caused by the flattening at the poles, is called an oblate spheroid."

    This being said... do I need to have an oblate spheroid shape or not? If it is essential to sustain life, then I guess I should keep some similar proportions. Once I have the numbers, I will be able to do what I call a dual perpendicular rings with 4 dots (so I can have my four middle points) which will allow me to have a better feel of the distortion when drawing something which normally would be spherical but on flat.
