Reply With QuoteMini-update. 2 different color-map that I use for work.
Dark version better for edit elevation. Light version is main.
I`m working on the Ice Age relief of the north.
This is hard, because I need imagine how ice shields moved and how it influenced on rivers and etc. Also I try imagine how rivers change them streames, previouse than stay on the modern positions.
Lands on the north of the huge middle orogeny looks flat and congenerical. I whant add here some ancient basins(punctir line). Today it is a flood plains with some lakes.
I also revise the relative heights by lowering the altitude in the southern part of the continent
I try to pay special attention to the large river in the center of the continent. I am planning to add a large delta here.
I have not decided yet and have no idea how the river will look like. I think the best candidate would be a mix of Amazon and Ganges
I try to lower the relief here to emphasize the sinking of the southern plate under the northern.
I feel that in the southern part of the continent some rivers need to be redirected into indoor pools. Because now, they are all oriented towards one of the coasts
I hope for feedback.
Thanks

I think I was able to achieve the forms that I like. The main work on map finished, but it does not mean that the work as a whole is close to the end.
There are a lot of boring, routine work ahead.
I decided to take a break from the heightmap and have some fun with the biomes. I placed biomes more based on my desires than sience based.
While I was working on the biomes, I realized that I want to add some more island arcs in the eastern ocean. It seems to me that this will make it possible to better outline the boundaries of the eastern oceanic plate.

I had a bit of fun with shading the map and I think I found a good one. The details that I spoke about and on which I am working are best seen here. There are still many problem areas, but I will gradually fix them, probably
I fixed relief on the south and north.
I could not resist and added a couple of hydronyms.
Added many small lakes in the north
I started work on the rivers, after that I plan to work on the islands and the coast
small sketch. Some plans about fixing coast lines and elevation
Wow! This is a lot of work and dedication.
Thank you Arimel!
You are dedicated, indeed. And I must say I like the colour palette you have in post 125.
