What can I say other than looking good there?

Some of the bump-mapping/embossing/height-mapping seems a bit extreme, maybe those could be toned down a bit?

I really like the forest and the 'cracked earth' textures. Marvellous work as usual!

I, too, am liking the tree fill and cracks fill...adds that lil bit of character. Nice start.

An update on the map, showing a wider area around the equatorial zone. I filled the crater with a lake, placed to shattered ground ripples in the desert beyond the mountain range from the crater area. More mountains, shattered the mountains too. The darker green forests around the rift waterway are swampy regions. Got a bunch of 1 pixel wide rivers and some .5 pixel tributaries. Note some jungle in the mountains too.

Update so far...

Wow! That's pretty cool. Nice work.

When I complete this map, I think I am going to create another Xara Xtreme tutorial - the techniques I use to create regional/continental maps, including forest texturing and layering, mountain creation, canyons, cut rivers and more.

Again, I know the number of users for Xara here is 1, maybe two if you count Ravs using Serif DrawPlus, which is the closet app to Xara Xtreme, but there might be some techniques that can cross into other apps - GIMP, Illustrator...

I really am trying to convert more users to apps like Xara Xtreme.
