    Default Sabellian Star System

    This was my entry for the February 2023 main challenge. We had to map a star system, and I opted for a binary system. Had a lot of fun doing this one despite a few headaches along the way, and learned some things I can use for future works of this type.

    Nicely dark and moody, as space should be! I really like how you did the stars.

    Love the details to the planets and stars.
    The map looks really good. Its a shame we cant see the moons on the map

    Thanks Kell and Sirion.

    Took me a while to figure out a way to get the top-down renders for the orbital diagram and have since then figured out a way to do them more accurately (i.e. including axial tilt). Originally planned to include moons and rings where applicable, but started running out of room. Would have been easier to include them if I hadn't done a binary system. Of course now I want to try this style with a ternary or double binary system, but I suspect that either of those would end up requiring multiple maps.
