Tectonic sketch. Tectonic profi, how its look?
Thank you! I draw blotch level map, than basic rivers. When its look good, I make smal rivers, it help me undersatnd where will be watershed. Than zooming in 1200% and draw erosion.
I have some unrest about mountains (here only 4 layers for hills) because it have to rise up quite sharply in some places, but when I convert it in shading it look very smoth.
I tried do work only with greyscale, but when I come texturing it, its look flat and unrealistic. I whant more details like flooded area, ice movement, dry seas, sands movement and barkhans. Classical dem can`t do it. I think to do N gray layers for all of this types. First of all classical dem, then grayscale for barkhans, glases and etc. And then add texture on it. I can use method that was in my previos finish map, but I whant show how wind or water\ice stream move this masse.

Are all the borders in the tectonic sketch meant to be active in the present day? If that is the case, this would be an unlikely scenario, though of course many (most) of these could be older, now-extinct collisions and failed rifts (essentially everything south of the Tavant/Tanat mountains).
Thank you Phillippo!
Thank you Charearg. Yes I think that from souht of Tavant and Tanat are old collisions. I thinl only one zone active today.(from west to east and it create big mountain ranges).
In Svartal I think should be old cratoon.
Not shure that in this tectonic version possible create Middle sea conaction with ocean on the north-east. Mb small plates?
Absolutly not shure about Naratar
Second tectonic sketch.
I spent some time rotated my map, and I think this is looks better.
I added young Fire ring. Flooded Santimora (conglomertes of islands on the east). It will be young volcanic islands too.
In Svartal (north) I added volcano too. It only started formed new young mountains. This is will be interesting region, because here will be active volaconos and ice shied. I think will be funny see fight between ice and fire on the erosion.
After last windows update I loosed all my backups and files. This is my 3 or 4 time when I loosing world files. But it mean that I can start again and try fix my previose mistakes.
Dirty restart.
After lossing all my progress I reborn (haha so ironic I called this topic "Kronos reborn" in 2016) my contour map. In last try I understand how imitate Pixie DEM style. Now I want fixe my tectonic(again, I hate this). This is rougue tectonic. I absolutly nothing know about other continents.
I have old problem with my west mountain range and Middle Sea connection.
Middle Sea formed like Mediterranean sea. But how correctly make relief on this region? I tryed mixe Indochina,Iberia and Asia Minor but can`t find correct way for middle Tanat range
White lines this are potential new ranges that I whant added. Shaded areas this is coast correction.
Ok, after some times I started work on super-continent model and redoing (again) tectonic model.
This is super-continent that crushed in 4 new.
In previose stadie 2 super-continent (Northen and Souther) collapsed and create middle mountain range Tanat.
