Feedback on my map(s)

I think that you are off to a good start (using RobA's tut I think) but I would add some effects to the land as well. The gravitational effects would tear at the land as much as it would create the stormy waters. I am thinking more islands, rougher coastlines, much more mountains/volcanoes and gorges through out the land as it gets pulled apart and smashed together as the suns pull it this way and that.

Those are great suggestions. And now I have other things to learn

And you're right about following RobA's tut...a wonderful guide from which I learned much. Gorges are an interesting idea and something on which I'll have to study and practice. I must also say that the land in the map has a kind of "magical" force holding it together and making it habitable, otherwise, as you've noted, the gravitational forces would do bad things. The people in the story aren't aware of this, and the reader only learns about it later in the story when the protagonist learns about it. It's a cheat, I admit, but it is fantasy

Thanks a ton for taking the time to respond!
