Travel is possible between worlds via air ships but jouney takes a while. Lands hover kept up by some sort of force at center of planet oceans core. Eventually lands fall into ocean if overused via mining farming etc. all the lands move in unison over the ocean floor. But collisions happen. Then lands would join to form a larger land mass.

so fun drawing at the cafe today. Started slow but juices(creative) eventually started flowing. Interesting study shows drinking 6 cups of coffee a day lowers the chance of type 2 diabetes in men by 54%!!! Drink up.

color and light practice. if you stop by tell me what i did wrong and right with this thanks.

You are missing a few elements in here, mostly reflective light. The light hits the surface, and bounces back up, hitting the ball again. The light seems to be coming from right up, I think the terminal (where the shadow starts) should be quite a bit higher on the ball, and underneath there a lighter bit from the reflective light.
Furthermore, the strongly colored shapes would bounce off light as well, leaving an orange hue on the surface. Here you have an example of how colors can transfer across surfaces: http://www.stanprokopenko.com/blog/i...cted_light.jpg
There are a lot of great tutorials that explain this more thoroughly, have a look around.
I would recommend watching these vids as well: http://www.ctrlpaint.com/shadow-properties/ and http://www.ctrlpaint.com/color-contrast/
Hope it helps, keep up the great work!

Thanks Overtoom for the links and advice. I think im gonna put serious color studies off for a little bit though and work on the other elements.
