    Map 8 (attached below) suggests through colors, in a preliminary fashion, how I might approach forests, plains, and deserts. Obviously, it lacks mountain ranges, the main factors determining where fertile and desert areas fall, so it's all subject to change.

    This map shows how I've begun thinking through the land masses. I'll go back, strip out the color, draw mountain ranges and major river valleys and water sheds, and then rebuild the colors in a more meaningful fashion.

    For this version, I applied the selection I created circumscribing the land masses to constrain my brush strokes (so I didn't color into the oceans), created a new, empty layer, and then colored in sections with Photoshop's brush tool. Nothing fancy.
