Cape Horn, South America and Antarctica

[onez]

Can you walk thru the 'used google earth' steps? How did you get the panoramic-bird's eye-perspective to 'bend' the sAmerica land mass to your preference? The globe isn't shaped like that. I am attempting the very same thing. Thank you for any direction (smile).

Very best.

@Gentleastronaut here's an early WIP with the screencap I took from Google Earth pasted into the file.

I had to play around with it (Google Earth) a lot before getting the desired angle.

Gentleastrounaut with the winning question, because the answer is so brilliant, thank you for sharing that onez.

Terrific work! I especially like the composition and the colour choice.

A fantastic piece of work. This is National Geographic quality stuff.

Just a couple of very minor nitpicks: The local name for Cape Horn is Cabo de Hornos; Isla de Hornos refers to the landmass itself.

Also, the area labbeled as Hielo Continental is called Campos de Hielo Sur (Southern Ice Fields).

Otherwise, it's perfect!

Thank you Klaus! I fixed the Hielo Continental label.
I left Cape Horn though since it is linked to the brand name, although it would have been more accurate to use the local name.

If you do another map like this I'd love to see the full process, I've learned a lot here at the guild from that type of posting. Thanks again.

If any of you is interested, here I describe the whole process.

I am planning on making more process posts in the future (mainly for my other non-map illustrations) so any feedback is more than welcome

That was fun to see your process Filippo.
And again, it just looks great.
