Description
This is a sketched "map" I created 3 years ago of the main world in a fictional universe I am creating. It has:A digitized blank map has been created, with slightly better continent shapes and a few new rivers. This map will be updated to fit within a defined projection and latitude/longitude lines, with more rivers and lakes added. After that, on to make topographic, climatic, and political maps!
If you have any questions, please ask.

Oh wow. This brings back so many memories of maps I would make exactly like this one when I was bored in class. So many memories...

Thanks and you're welcome, I guess.
The major problem is that because this was a free-hand map, when I digitized it more than 2 years later the latitudes were waay off from where I wanted them to be. For instance, the Jade Lodian capital city in the current digitized map is located at ~5 °S, when... does this look like a climate at ~5 °S to you?
I could (and plan to) move the continents around to fix this, but it's kinda difficult to convert Cartesian raster coordinates into Geographic coordinates. Any ideas on what I should do (speaking about the digitized blank version, of course)?

No clue. Never digitized any of my maps.

Ok. Maybe I could vectorize it and/or get some bona-fide cartography software...

I'm glad you're making a digital version this ones hard to see. Cant wait to see the full colored version.
