I can't show off the main planet-building work I'm doing for Sparrow Films, but here's one I'm working on for my portfolio, possibly for sale on Superhivemarket. "Cobolt" is a background/setting for the fantasy version of Cepheus Traveller. I drew the map a long time ago and it has gathered dust waiting for elaboration. I thought I'd take the place in a different direction--- into Blender.

You'll notice things are busier and somewhat warped in the polar regions. This is to account for the need to project a nice tidy 2d map onto a spheriod, where your northern and southern extremes get stretched.

| Polar distortion cancels out the squashing |

| The masking begins... next come the landforms. |
