„Blue Marble, Pale Blue Dot, Blue Planet… it seems obvious: our Earth is, above all, blue. With 70.8% of its surface covered by water, this water represents only a millionth of the mass of the observable universe. Seen this way, the planet almost seems to be showing us its back, so accustomed are we to seeing it from the “continent” side, populated by billions of humans. Here, at most, only a few tens of millions of humans, but plenty of water, forming part of the vast global ocean—a complex machinery that enables life on Earth in countless ways. This is the portrait of a blue planet.“

Absolutely gorgeous!! Great work as always!
Amazing work! Have you considered doing Youtube videos on how to make something like that?
This one is also amazing piece of work from your website: [https://www.perrinremonte.com/thema-eng?itemId=qzdobsofhd3nmw0k483ptdmiv1se5l](https://www.perrinremonte.com/thema-eng?itemId=qzdobsofhd3nmw0k483ptdmiv1se5l)
Kind of strange seeing something great here and not some slobbered together trash with weird colors or just a link to shitty website.
Nice.
This reminds me of those eyewitness books I used to love as a kid. Great work
I never knew the Amazon was THAT MUCH BIGGER
Lovely work! Just one thing, it’s the *Orinoco* River, not ‘Orinico’.
Edit: pretty sure there’s also only one S in Yenisei.
