About A Year Ago I Started working On My Retrograde Earth Series, In Which I Depicted Earth's Continents
About a year ago I started working on my Retrograde Earth series, in which I depicted Earth's continents on a backwards-spinning Earth, which would result in a major reconfiguration of Earth's climate. The first map I made in this series was Retrograde South America; however, that map has aged a bit since then as I've learned more about mapmaking and received further input from u/AncalagonTheBlack42 and MolotovJack. This is my attempt to remake that map from scratch. My next project will be to stitch all of the maps I've made thus far into a global map and render it as a globe in Blender or some other program if I can get that to work.

Retrograde North America (North America on a backwards rotating Earth):
I think this is my favorite retrograde Earth map I’ve made thus far, I’m hoping to work on Earth piece by piece until I have a full map.
I almost forgot to post the Retrograde Australia map here!
What if the Western Interior Seaway survived to the modern day?
Retrograde South America
This is my attempt to emulate a satellite map of South America on a backward spinning Earth, I based this on the climate maps made by Molotovsnowman and AncalagonTheBlack42: https://www.deviantart.com/molotovjack/art/Retrograde-Earth-V5-Final-Version-985503973
Which themselves were based on this study and this map from the Worldbuilding Pasta Blog
