New Eldoran

Long time no see, Julien Your work on that setting is really humbling, I'm constantly amazed by your posts about it. I really love the rotating globe and, if I had one tiny critic, it would be that your ocean seems to show a seam in the middle of the Océan Palléatique. If it is the case, I might give some insight as I encountered this kind of trouble on my World of Anonyma II map. I kind of fixed by mirroring the background to make it seamless when I turned the equirectangular map into a rotating globe.

Thanks a lot, Mr D ! It has to be better than the previous one, right?

héhé, I know you've been and still are a busy man ! Thanks, sometimes I fear to get lost in useless details.
I know about the seam, I erased it a bit, but the globes are more the result of a sudden silly idea than a real project. Hence the sloppy work on some points (including the choice of labels, too much or not enough, depending). I could have done much better to make them, but hell, I just spent too much time on it, already.

So, I first wanted to make the physical map with a lot of stuff under, like a climatic/biomes map, etc...
Here's a start about a precipitation map.

But I don't have so many stuff to place, and I suppose that the main map is already showing a lot of things. So, I reduced it and I'll probably just add some stuffs about highest mountains, longest rivers and such things. Plus a proper frame, for sure.

The political map will be surrounded by more things (flags, religions, species...).

Incredible work, Ilanthar. It looks amazing.

Thanks a lot, Lady Pea!
I decided to place Eldoran moons on the left, the planetary system on the right. Or at least, I'll try. I reworked the polar views and a new Mappemonde logo.
Here's some more work on the highest mountains :

Thanks a lot, Naima!

Changing my mind (again) and wondering again about that frame ()... My current idea is to place 6 landscapes (3 on each side). But, it might be just too heavy and distracting in the end...
I'm also wondering if i should not add some more white on the big mountainous areas.

Some more to have a better idea. I added more snow on the map in the polar regions and over the highest mountains (and I think it works better).

Some more. I changed things a bit, trying to make it fit a bit better. And most of the second landscape is done.

I'm too discreet here, but be sure I'm just here, lurking and enjoying. Those creatures sketches look absolutely amazing !
