WIP - Avearia - Looking for feedback

[kacey]

I was getting frustrated with the mountains so moved on to try and experiment with some rivers, which I've never really done before.

Just a quick question... I've done them in a dark grey blue which I sampled from the ocean like Max suggested, but I'm unsure of weather to do the outlines of the lakes the same colour as the dark brown coastal outline, or doing them the same colour as the rivers.

I've started off this one lake with the coastal outline colour...Do you guy's think I should change it to the river colour? I'm also wondering if the line weight, thickness, and tapering is OK???

I've never done rivers like this before, so I really don't know what I'm doing.

The rivers look OK. River colors are generally chosen to be the same (or very close) color as the ocean. The lake looks OK too.
Basically the rivers flow from the mountains toward the sea and wiggle around while doing it - not much more to add.
Of course your fjord makes the connection look strange to my eye because one doesn't see where the river ends and where the fjord begins.
Especially because fjords are surrounded by cliffs but here the river flows in at sea level. But these are just details.

Thanx Deadshade, I see what you mean about the connection between the river, and fjords. I'm actually reconsidering even leaving them as fjords because I don't know how to make them look like they have cliffs. I was wondering if maybe they could just be big river channels or something, I'm actually a little bothered by the connection myself, I'm just not yet sure what to do about it.
