    Okay thanks alot Azelor!

    1: I will have a bigger planet if I can find a way to lower the gravity so its still on the same level as on Earth. For that, I will need someone's insight. Or I could be lazy and... MAGIC! But ain't fun...
    2: I prefer having the ice in order to keep a certain balance in the temperature of the sea. Water currents will be important in my world.

    Mmmm... Now rotation wise and all, I will need to be careful. If bigger, then the rotation cycle and the seasons will be longer, unless the speed makes up for it but then it will cause more gravity and not just that... Think about those studying the sky when sailing across the ocean... If it moves faster... Mmmm....
    We all wish to create, but do we really create?
    What we draw and what we write is part of us.
    No we do not create, we simply discover who we are.

    It's not related to size. Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet despite being the biggest. day only last 10 hours.
    Venus on the contrary can barely make 1 rotation in a Venusian year.

    Nice! It's really cool to see this combined. And pretty huge (I think I never did more than 6 or 8 A4 sheets).

    I'm new to this thread but from what I've seen I must say I am really impressed by your map! I really love how it has a very realistic feel to it! I wonder if you are planning to add some colour. From a purely stilistic point of view I am wondering how you will add place names? Would you write them yourself or rather print them? This is a question I struggle with, as writing tends to be a bit messy.

    Greetings

    Sorry for the delay, lately I am really busy with my master at university... Read read read read... Anyways.

    To answer your question, I thought many times of adding some colours, may it be for some shading or texture or for borders. The problem is this is a style I made for a civilization in a novel project of mine. The main goal is to be accurate, not artistic though looking good is also a plus. Also, if I add colours, I will need to find the correct pens. All of it is hand made, the only exceptions is the writting you will find early in the posts of this thread. Besides that, hand made. Many times I tried to get my hand on some precise pigment but to no avail.

    Amazing job on this MASSIVE continent of yours! It's good to see that hand-drawing is still alive and well! Looking forward to seeing the end result!

    Here is a big update. It really big so I am not able to put it all together as before.

    I deleted the images so to make more space. oh... I guess I cannot entirely delete something without having iit move in the editing history... shame on me -_-

    sorry for REPOSTING the first layer, I managed to find a way to post them all at once. I suggest you zoom out to 90% or even 75%, otherwise you will have a chaotic map. Sorry,

    Argh... Please don't tell me there is a limit of images, after which you only have links ...Phew, I managed to repair it by editing and saving without making a single change to the text. I don't get it but as long as it works!
    .... Please tell me if you only see the bottom half and if the upper half is but a cluster of links....

    Looking great!!! cant wait to see it coloured. you may want to do a quick threshold filter to sharpen it up, for example, see below.
