    Thanks! This is still all in Inkscape. I'll want to turn the worldmap into a heightfield at some point... but I am a little worried about doing that, too, because at usable resolutions this would mean a huge amount of work. So I'll work this world out as a more abstract vector based graphic, at least for now.

    Minor progress. I don't have the needed determination to force myself to work out the climate correctly and as a result I am not happy enough with what I have to call it "final". Still, basic ocean currents are done, however realistic they may be:

    Here's an insight into the madness that is my climatology work - Windpattersn in local "January":

    Putting that aside, here is a close-up of the "main" region with some detail added.

    I actually think plain green forests work well in this case, I think it fits the fairly simple style.

    The dashed yellow lines are the main connections of Thraeton's airship transport network.

    This is some lovely work. I really like the steady, methodological approach you are taking.

    Consider yourself repped.

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time for map-making lately. Here's a small incremental update on this map - added rivers, and edited mountains a bit.

    This looks real nice...like a super clean topographical map. Good job.

    Thanks guys.

    Another small incremental update. I'd especially be interested whether the marshy area in the Northwest is okay, or if the color should be changed?

    (Note to River Police: I know that I have a river going over a hill near the word "Highland", this is an oversight since I edited the low mountains layer after I had placed the river. It'll be fixed.)

    I think the marsh color is fine.
