Some fun with psevdo-swiss map style and some fixies and improving relief. I worked on improving coastline, but have some problems with ria and fjords types coasts. Soon I will back to the bathymetry and islands.

Thank you Ilanthar!
I planned to start work on adjusting the coast and island arch to the east, but instead focused on detailing the central mountain range. I didn't like the mess that was squeezed out in the center. I wanted to show geological activity and folding. There are still places that do not quite suit me, especially at the edges of the bends, but this result seems to me better. I further lowered the relative heights to the "green" level and it seems to me that it was beneficial.

Thank you sir QED42!
I continue to make cosmetic changes to the map. My main focus now is on increasing the detail of the central mountain system. I add new watersheds and sharpen them to emphasize tectonic specificity.
I finally added an island arc in the east
If you see any inaccuracies in the believability of the relief, please let me know.

Hi. I am in some creative stagnation. It has often been pointed out to me that my central mountains are similar to Himalay . It's funny, but I made up these mountains mainly from the Taurus, Zagros, Armenian Highlands and the Caucasus (in fact, most of the world was made up of them). Perhaps subconsciously, but I really made the central mountains very similar to the Himalayas and it depresses me a little. I would like to keep the overall system, but make some adjustments so that it does not look so much like the Himalayas. I really need feedback and advices how fix it
Also please let me know how recognizable the real DEM on my map. And what elements of the world seem really strange or wrong to you. Thank you

I decided to switch to other parts of the world for now. Added new volcanoes, worked on the rift zone in the south. Added relief to the islands. I plan to improve the detailing of the underwater relief. Of the major changes, I still plan to improve the northeast coast and the terrain there before I can say it's over. I made attempts to create conlangs for my world in order to give various and interesting names, since now i'm experiencing a deficit in them

That texturing looks incredibly good! Kind of hard to believe that that isn't an actual satellite image.
