I saw the links to Blender tutorials on your post of this map in r/MapPorn. What dataset(s) did you use, if you don't mind saying?

Raven Maps is my standard for where cartography intersects aesthetics. You're definitely getting there.

For this one I used the USGS 1 Arc Second dataset which gives about 30m resolution. The GEBCO dataset is also a good option.

Raven Maps does stellar work and are one of my inspirations. They balance traditional cartography and art perfectly! One thing I'd like to add to my maps in the future is labeling which they do very well.

PS - I like your username. I identify with it a little too much sometimes!
