So I was thinking of how I would want a perfectly designed planet to look like and came up with the following. Replacing the North and South american continents I would replace them with an upside down V shape of land. This land would have a command base at its vortex with a large monument that sticks straight out of the ground up high. This land would be connected at the north pole like the berring straight we have here to the asian subcontinent which would be shaped like a superman diamond. With a command center in the NorthEast. My logic is to have an astral flying port in the V lands. And the asian continent to look like girlies undies. Any suggestions to make it better?

John Dollan's worlds are great! I work with him all the time on Celestia planets for the Arcbuilders and Orion's Arm universes. Here are some I have made, http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/4279/kindness8vc.jpg http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/1889/grace6wg.jpg http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/43/honour6vm.jpg and John and I both worked on this one http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/9416/coronaqh0.jpg
You did the last one... nice have you seen the work of keen veenebos it's mostly mars but he's verry good. I also liked the art of extrasolar vision unforntunally the guy died a year or so back.
Veenenbos is absolutely excellent! I often have his images as wallpaper. Of course he has much better software than John or I. This is the best I can do when making an image of Mars (that's Phobos in the foreground) http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/479/marsrj0.jpg
Well this is some of my rendered stolen work of actually being on the planet: 1.
