I like it! What's your methodology?

I used Photoshop primarily. I hand-drew a shape that I liked and loosely replicated it in Photoshop. Then used Old Guy's Tutorial on Creating Realistic Coastlines to, well, make realistic coastlines. I originally used Ascensions' Atlas Style in Photoshop for the first few maps, but wasn't totally happy with the result. I adapted a few things from his tutorial (c.f. continental shelf, lighting effects), but developed a few styles on my own by playing with brush effects and such in Photoshop. I ended up, at one point, laying down the continental plate boundaries (you can faintly see them in the ocean), to help lay down the mountains. The ocean styling was the happy product of playing around in Photoshop while trying to figure out mountain placement.
