Troa, the great continent - Continental Map.

[joaodafi]

Hello everyone, I made this map in photoshop and would like to know what you guys think.
The coastline this good? It looks natural?
What do you guys think of the islands?
Basically what you guys have to say about that map?

The shape looks great, and I highly appreciate the avatar

I loved the curved bay in the far north. Are you considering any ice sheets / icy waters anywhere?

Without knowledge of the tectonic underneath, any shape is good.

Can you elaborate more about the map? Things like the dimensions of the landmasses and the position of the equator would be appreciated.
Do you want to create a realistic map (not referring to drawing style, but to 'could this be real?') or a fantasy map where anything goes?
Without more info, all we can really comment on is the shape, and it looks pretty cool!

Berserk FTW.

Yes, I'm planning to do four maps, one for each season, and in the winter map, will certainly have some non-permanent ice in the north.

Hum... The continent has about 11000 km north-south and 7500 km east-west. The continete are all in the northern hemisphere, the equatorial line is further south of what is shown on the map.

I just wonder if the shape of the continent looks too artificial.

Well... Here is the thread about tectonic.

Hi! The link to the tectonics doesn't work.

Problem solved

Fixed indeed.

About your question, I must confess your land shape doesn't feel too natural for me. To be honest, it makes me think of a logo, like a dragon head logo for a key chain. It feels too smoothly curvy.

That said, perhaps by making the coastals less smoooth the curvyness and the general shape would work fine for me.

well, I made many changes, although it does not appear, redid the entire coast and modified several islands.

Now I intend to start working on the height map. However I do not even know where to start. So, help pls.
