    I added a greebled surface on borders, I am planning a gas giant on the right or may be a scorched Earth ... then a moon on left or "the Moon" and then the sun in distance ...

    the dark area supposely should feature night lights ...

    I saw the title read "ringworld" but this wasn't quite what I imagined What a curious concept. Is this some existing sci-fi setting or something you just came up with?

    @Kellerica I do see some resemblance to the Halo ring worlds. @Naima Awesome challenge to take on though! Can't go wrong there.

    (Btw, I am a huge Halo fan, so I am looking forward to seeing this one.)

    Interesting and quite difficult, I'd say... but I'm pretty sure you're gonna do wonders with this, Naima .

    Interesting! Depending on the actual size, this could be considered as a Banks Orbital. These are quite big though, since they have to rotate with a period of ~ 1day with a earth-like gravity. About 3 million KM in diameter.

    Thanks for the thrust, I have abandoned the idea to manually paint as I think it would not look consistant with other elements like mechanical Ring and planets ... so I will try to make a photobashing of real maps ... hope it wil come better than my actual latest attempts ... in meanwhile I improved a bit the ring ...

    This is one of the possilbe ideas, the other is instead a tilted look and a different perspective, I have to choose one and stick with it as I can't make both , still not decided ...

    Aboutcalculations sincerely I didn't make any , neither I intend to lol ... I am just making as it comes ... Not even sure I will be able to complete as photobashing is seeming a little complicate ...
