This is really taking shape Eowyn, looks fantastic, I really like in particular how the bottom of the 2 continents on the right is progressing.

Hello Eowyn!
Glad to see another very professional looking world-building project; you've demonstrated very much skill with not only the mountains but also the rivers. (How exactly do you craft them? I used to rely on Wilbur but lately opted for something more organic.)
I'm also liking to your colour choices for topography and the general clean look to this map. Do you have any astronomical data on this planet? Have you accumulated any lore yet?
Again, fantastic job with this project. I wish the Guild had more artists interested in this particular style, the equirectangular world. Gotta somehow market the hobby to a wider audience.

commissioner here- I have ungodly amounts of data. What are you interested in?
The planet is earth equivalent, with a much lighter but thicker crustal layer and a smaller, denser mantle and core due to the addition of a single stable element to the periodic table, which makes up about a billionth of the planet by volume but weighs enough to make some slight changes (it's a dnd world so I needed a "magic rock" and an underdark and boy does that make my math more complicated.)
The rivers are my favorite part too!
Hi Peter!
I relied on GPlates for projection accuracy, but pretty much everything else is handdrawn and eyeballed. I've used Wilbur for rivers before but I didn't for this piece. I also like an organic style and this is what Artifexian recommends in his amazing atlas series. It means a lot to read that I'm doing so well!
Lore-wise, this is something you should ask my commissioner about. I'll try to lure him into answering you as he sometimes lurks in this thread; I'm sure he'll be more than glad to find that people are interested in his conworld!
Thanks again for your interest and your kind words.
Wyn

Personally, I'd like to see it in colors with more contrast (much darker oceans, for example), but of course that's an artistic choice which should be decided by the commissioner
