Hello! I found your gallery by way of
koof1313 and this made for a wonderful first piece to show up in my queue.
Seeing that this is digital art, may I ask what program you used, and if it might be user-friendly for an artistically-challenged writer like me?
Did you have any references or inspiration?
I've been experimenting in world-building recently, but having everything in a block of text just isn't the same as a full-fledged map like this and I'd like to give it a try.
All that aside, this is a fascinating piece, and I very much enjoy it.
As a writer, what captures my attention is realizing that all the mountain ranges, seas, rivers and flatlands were at one point named for someone, and the stories that could spring from a locale's name alone are endless.
I'll be using this as a guide to what sot of things merit labeling in a planetary-scale map.
Keep up the good work! I'll be sure to stop back at your gallery for more stories and art from Hada.

Hello!
Mostly I use SAI for all of my illustration work, but my maps are done almost exclusively in Photoshop. Photoshop is pretty easy to learn and you don't necessarily need a lot of digital art background to do it.
I don't really have a tutorial for how I do them, but this one applies similar techniques to the ones that I do - http://www.deviantart.com/art/Fanta.....rces-258559867
The inspiration for the world is pretty much in my head.
As for references, I don't really use them for these. You just need a basic knowledge of geography, which can easily be researched VIA Google-fu. :)
Hope this helps!

Thank you so much! The tutorial you linked me to will be a great help.
I've got a lot of research ahead of me, then, but at least I have the internet.
I'd love to read more about this world, so I'll keep any eye out for more submissions from you.
Thanks again and have a great day.

I will be updating it with new planets and species in the next few days. :)
