First Post and WIP Maps

[Dogzilla]

Hello all,
Like most here, I've been enamored of cartography, especially fictional cartography (cryptocartography?) for a while. I've used CC2 for a while, now I've upgraded to CC3 and I'm impressed by the improvements they've made, especially in visual presentation. I've drawn a global map, a WIP with coastlines only. The second map is one of the continents (near the center), zoomed in and natural features added:




I'm trying to resist the temptation from adding too many details on a map that covers 250 million square miles, so I'm using very few symbols. I'll probably switch to symbols for mountains and forests on regional maps.

By the way, I've enjoyed lurking here for a few weeks and checking out the maps...many of the posters here are very talented cartographic artists.
