World Map - Satellite by Javanshir

World Map - Satellite

Javanshir

Playing around with my world map once again, I decided to try out depicting a "satellite image" of it. It's very painterly but from a fair distance it looks convincing, I think.

Worldbuilding is a whole lot of fun, y'all. I recommend it™

    If you apply a sharpen filter it gets more satellite-y. And then some cloud textures to block our vision can improve the feeling. But this is really great, just from seeing the geography of a place I start imagining stories on how societies are built in function of their environment. Well done.

      Strangely, I did not even think of making clouds... maybe if the depiction was going to end up being a globe floating in space, then something would have surely looked wrong, haha.

      That would indeed be an interesting thing to add though! It could also be a fun method of playing around with the weather systems which is something to consider when creating something like this, in my opinion.

      But alas thanks for the input! I do hope seeing a view such as this can evoke thoughts on what is within.

      I prefer it like this, actually being able to see the landmasses without any clouds in the way.

        Yeah, in the end it depends whether you want to make it clear or realistic. Painting has a lot to do with tricking reality into something more bearable to the viewer. x)

    Personally I find it stressful as hell @n@ I can't get the landmasses to look how I want, and feel convincing and stuff.
    yours looks rather nice, though. I'm jelly.
