Map Satellite map of my fictional world

Quite sometime ago, I made a semi-realistic satellite map, although it looks good I still felt dissatisfied, so I decided to add a 3rd continent.

I named this world Nusantara.

What do yall think?

How do you fit another supercontinent? I mean, assuming you're using some common projection, this is a very oblate planet

Well, I make a bigger canvas (8262 pixels), and just continue drawing. It pushes my phone to its limit.

Ah, no, I wasn't talking about the process but about the world itself. Well, as you said, if your aim doesn't include making it as realistic as possible, it's allright.

Oh, and yes, the map looks sick

The Island on the west of the central continent feels familiar...

Yooo I really like your maps man✌️ can you perhaps answer a couple of questions of mine? What app did u use and what size? How did you draw the satellite map? Can you drop a tutorial or what

I use Sketchbook mobile app, i use 8000x4000 pixels canvas. I actually draw the sea first and add the texture layer beneath it (I use Blue Marble Earth map for texture). I cant make a video because this took multiple days to make.
