[WIP] Map of Terragaia - Oceanography

I finished all of the terrain, or rather the ecosystem coloring at least. Now, I'm in the middle of working on the oceanography. It's about 75% done, just need to work on the stuff around the South America-ish continent (which is really supposed to be South America and Africa shoved together), the inset for the south pole, and the major ocean basins.



I also added some more water on either side and then, obviously rounded it off, making it look like a real map, at least in my opinion. Of course, I think this looks pretty cool, but I honestly don't expect people on my art sites to really appreciate it, since it's . . , a map.

[WIP] Map of Terragaia - Terrain Work

Having fun painting in the terrain for my map. It's not done, maybe halfway at most, but I wanted to take a break and I figured I made some pretty decent progress. I'd say Grandina, Rubicam, Bharata, and the continent for Balkane are done, maybe also the one Kemet is on as well, at least as far as the terrain goes. The oceanography needs some more work on some of those.

[WIP] Map of Terragaia - Base

I've been working on a map of my world, Terragaia, for awhile now and this is my most up to date version. It even includes the names and borders of the countries I have named. If anyone's wondering Theolis comes from the right hand side of the island beneath where it says Llords; it's actually a part of Llords, hence why it seems to lack a label.


Anyway, I realize this is probably a horrible projection and any cartographers seeing this would probably cringe, but it is meant to show all of the continents to scale. That's why Polaris is in an inset, since it's the south pole. And yes, Terragaia is fairly well based on Earth, but I think it's different enough to work well.
