Planetary maps

Recommended Posts

Alright, so we have this Lylat system with all these habitable planets.  Has anyone ever given thought to how world maps of these planets might look?  Anything particularly about their geology, their weather systems, or any particular plate tectonics they might have?  Continents?  Oceans?  Mountain ranges?  Ice caps?  Vast forests or deserts?  Terraforming projects?

The best I can typically do is whatever I can render in Fractal Terrains, but that never resembles a realistic layout of tectonic plates.

Here's my favorite. Lot of solid research behind it, and interesting, plausible theories.

Ahh yes, I remember this map.  It was briefly uploaded to Arwingpedia, before being deleted for being fanart.

Anyway, I was thinking more specifically about how each planet may look on its surface map.  That would be interesting to imagine. :3

I'm actually working on some regional maps of Corneria for my animated series, helping to discern where different characters are from on the planet, different cities and accents, and whatnot. I'll probably be making more for other inhabited planets later on, as progress continues.

I like creative world maps.  Going to use plate tectonics?  That makes it look especially realistic. :3

The only thing about that planetary map that was linked is that it's silly.

Silly derp space physics.

Okay, looking foreward to seeing it.

It would be interesting to know more about the planets' geography. We know a lot about Sauria's.
