Not sure, but I might work again on this one. I tried a quick color test yesterday on the islands on the right.

Not all of them... This one is just a test for a "thurian" .
But I'ved drifted again and now, I'm back on my elzévir martian atlas, with many doubts. For, one, should I remove the majority of the craters I previously left here and there (mainly on the coasts). I already removed the vast majority and thus, wonder if it's of interest to let those too...
This is just a quick test done taking the "old" version as a base. But I intend to redo it more properly with my new skills, and starting with the planisphere.. And The regional maps will be done in azimuthal equal-area.

That map of mars is sooo good! Love the relief and colours. It is kind of a map worth printing big for a wall poster.

Well, thanks Rafal ! But I do intend to redo the topography and the map(s) in general, starting from the world map this time, and getting the regional ones in an azimuthal equal-area projection.
This is where I am so far. Not sure what color palette I will chose. I think something more related to the topography would be better than that old version.

I will reduce it in the end to fit a two-pages format.

[Ilanthar]

With colors (by altitude range). Not sure it works that well...

Thanks ! I'm slowly progressing on the topography. A lot of lands to cover...

On a different subject, I had the sudden urge to finish those "base" coat of arms that I will use for the different realms of Nightfall, so...
