Thanks!

Still tweaking the ecosystems on the main land mass
here is a cropped view

I wanted to give the desert a bit of a less arid area due to glacial activity - the small lake feeds a localized weather area creating a grasslands area in the middle of more arid rugged plateaus thus the weird y shape to the green

also note the white squares are 10 km

also doing a topo study of the main crater area where im planning on designing and placing a city some day...maybe in 10 years...

That looks really cool.

That's so lovely looking - going through the progression of your work . . . ! Nice planetary maps are always a great find . . . !

this is to go with the mini tutorial...
ive continued on with similar techniques with the coastal areas

Im still alive. I spent way too much time trying to find a 3d game engine to translate this into, then I got distracted by online gaming hah, past that now. I have a wiki I started for this, because I will be posting art work, of the flora fauna, and architecture of this planet in here as well.
I won 3rd place in a local art competition here with this, and took home some cash, that was an unexpected surprise.

I still have to tweak, the rivers, a couple clone stamp weirdness, and the algae coastal areas. Then on to the other continents.

Congratulations on the win and I look forward to seeing more of this.

Sharp stick time methinks.

Nice, if Texas was really like this, I'd be living right on the island in the big lake! I could just step out my door to go fishing!

Still get a 404 error.

Hmmm. Maybe my 'sharp stick' did it?
