Half World WIP

[BookOwl]

Okay, I did my best to get rid of the light blue outline that was around all the land, you can still see it a little bit but it's hardly noticeable. I resized it so it's "equirectangula." It was already very close so it wasn't a problem. I've added some more underwater terrain and added a touch more color to the ocean. I'm thinking I might go darker with the water before it's all said and done but I'll decide on that later.

Naeddyr, should I fix the poles and stuff before or after I do anything else with this? Like will it royally distort the colors and stuff if I wait until it's totally finished?

And thanks for the advice evryone!

Think since I brought it up I better comment on it - yes looking closely at it you can still see it however with the new additional to the underwater terrain it simply just seem like the coast line are somewhat shallow then take a dip downward - you actually turned something wierd looking into a darn cool feature - which I will steal at some point in time

The thing I always do is, that I have a base map, a black-for-land-white-for-sea binary colour map. I then transform that based map (possibly also rough rivers and mountain layers) into whatever projection I'm going to work on, and *that* image is what I primarily work on. I redo the rivers and mountains and other features, etc. This is because any cartographic transformation will cause significant and obvious distortion; except maybe on a satellite-style map. But certainly don't put down things like text yet. So, yes, I would certainly fix the basix shapes of the continent the very first thing I do.
