The world of Lyr (temporary name)

[Ephene]

Hey guys,

So I started recently a pretty ambitious project with a large map.
This map is supposed to be one support for developping the lore, the history etc. of this world.

Here was the sketch that I drew months ago :

And here is what I came up with so far :

I may retouch a bit the coastlines, some are maybe too sharp and unatural but I was pretty happy with the first result.

Feel free to say what you think, I'm always open for critics

Seems like a promising start. I don’t know enough science to give a real opinion in that regard, but maybe if the intended scale is in the vicinity of 600-900 km wide the the amount of roughness is ok? The second version does seem more natural in my opinion.

I'd agree that it looks like a good start! You may be right about the roughness however. if you look at maps of Earth, there are lots of places with "boring" coastlines that aren't indented at all–think Africa or Australia. So if you're going for maximum realism it may make sense to smooth some parts out a bit. That said, I do think your landforms right now are pleasing and fairly plausible-looking. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

I really like it, off to a great start. Can't wait to see where it goes
