Half World WIP

[Naeddyr]

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?

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.
