    So recently I've been hit with a bout of inspiration and I wanna make a world map, but I want to go all in this time. I did some heavy research, looking at couple of artists, watching some videos and even researching about geography and geology. I even planned out tectonic plates when making this sketch.

    The result below is the first sketch and I was wondering what you guys think. This world is gonna be a Golarion/Forgotten Realms kind of world, with magic and monsters and a bunch of different races and stuff, but I wanted the landmasses to be somewhat logica here. I have a general idea of where biomes and mountain ranges will go, and they all informed by the tectonic plates and their proximity to the equator. There are a few other things to consider of course, like wind and rain, but I'll figure that out after I get the landmasses right.

    Anyway I'm looking for any kind of feedback that will make this thing more believable and aesthetically pleasing. Thanks in advance.

    I really like the continent shapes and the coastal variety you have. I think they look very good. My only feedback is that the continent sizes and spacing are slightly too symmetrical, but this is a minor quibble. Perhaps you could fix this by making spacing out of the oceans separating the continents more than the other, or else shrinking the right hand continent a bit. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

    That's a good point, I was looking at it after you mentioned it and yeah, I'm thinking I got to change the sizes around a little bit. The Eastern Continent is supposed to be really big so I'm thinking I'll scale it up while scaling the middle continents down, although I must mention this is supposed to be an Atlas type of map, so a distortion on the sizes are to be expected. I might even make the westernmost continent a little smaller.

    Thank you for your insight!
