Planet Map for Earth-Like Planet in Sci-Fi Setting

[Ashenvale]

The principal difference between Map 6 (attached to the last post) and Map 7 (attached below) is that I flattened and broadened the western land masses in Map 7, distorting them up into the top left corner to give the whole western continent's flow a more rakish plunge southeasterly.

I also broadened the map as a whole from 20 to 21 inches in width (leaving the height at 10 inches). I may need to broaden this further to achieve a land-to-water ratio of 30/70. I can increase the height, adding to the poles, if neccessary to accommodate a broader width showing more ocean.

I also graded the flow of the poles cold gray-blue into the land masses' tan. This will likely prove meaningless, because I'll re-color everything when I begin adding real forests, mountains, plains, and the like. But it makes the image easier to evaluate.
