Description
After much fuss including ten altitude maps and several climate models, I am finally ready to present an image of the planet Zainter from orbit. It may seem dry and arid, but the colors are misleading; Zainter's plants are red, not green, so many apparently barren swathes are quite fertile. I've seen much better on this website, and now that I've tried my hand at planet-drawing, I can truly appreciate their work - this took me well over eight hours to complete!

Special thanks to aRchAng3lZz ( [link] ) and Bonvanello's ( [link] ) tutorials for their help in developing the planet, and arisechicken117 ( [link] §ion=&global=1&qlanetary+Ring+Tutorial#/d343q3b ) and rodrigogua's ( [link] ) for developing the rings. I also thank the developers of Google Earth, imagery from which was used to develop the planet's textures.

With any luck I'll be able to depict a convincing star field next time...
