I'm probably echoing a lot of what others have said, but your work is truly amazing, Naima! That map of Thersis blows my mind: the labelling, the colours you've chosen, the beautiful book layout... I love your attention to detail and accuracy - it was fun (and informative!) to read through the WIP thread as well. You've inspired me to come out of the shadows and actually join the cartographer's guild.
Hey Naima. I am new to the game and perhaps a little late. But I just had to comment on this map. It is in a class of its own. I love it. Well done!
Thankyou...
I wanted also to collect and thank here some of the tutorials I have followed as well as the invaluable help received by the forum members throught questions answering.

Well, it was worth the wait! Now, I'm impatiently waiting for the next oneBy Naima
Oh and btw this seems to be my first map submitted as finished .
If you don't mind, a little picture to explain what I was saying in my earlier post. In red, the visible separation, and a very quick gradiant I tried under the arrow.

Once again, it's really beyond nitpicking and doesn't change the fact that your map is fantastic!
Oh yes, that is the underlying page, I blurred a bit the above border , in theory they are two different pages, one more dirty and desaturated than the other.
OK! Everything's perfect, then
This is absolutely gorgeous! Not only is the map beautifully made, but the presentation in book format is fantastic. Great job.

Thankyou
Wow, what a map. I love it! This is a perfect "alternate earth" map in my eyes. Looks kind-of-familiar but has enough difference to be its own thing. Very well done!
Is there any chance you can show us the finished map without the "presentation"? As in: Just the map? And if possible at full resolution? I know you might need to upload it somewhere and link it, because we have limited upload possibilities here...but i'd really love to see this in its full glory!
Anyway...much deserved Rep is incoming. Awesome map, Naima! Truly inspiring.
