You know you'll end up with them in the end
If you are going to do the dunes I'd make them lower and flatter, and space them out more. That will leave the desert lighter over all which fits with the view of sand.
I've been waffling on adding in a few areas with dunes. I'm waiting until I forget exactly how much work i put into the hills (the dunes will be a similar style) before I start on them

This is looking great! The colours and textures on the land mass and sea are lovely, gives a really good impression of the climate and terrain. Looking forward to updates.
Not *entirely* happy with the dunes yet, I'm going to redo the ground details around them, but this is pretty close to what I was after.
I'll also likely toss a few oases here and there for extra flavour. This part is going a lot faster than I was expecting once it started moving, yay!

They look a little... wavy, I guess, or kinda like shark fins... I think just rounding off the tops might do the trick... Dunes usually have pretty clearly defined ridges, I think, but not pointy tops. I could be wrong though, I'm no expert on deserts
Looks good man! looks good! I like the lines between the dunes. it adds a sense of depth to them
Gald you're liking the progress
It seems like every map I've done has one point that I slam into like a brick wall. I've found this one

Ok, the dunes are coming along really well suddenly. left them for a few days, and sat down and whammo!
