WIP: Do these look like mountains?

[Uhh_Alex]

I'll try to keep this somewhat simple, but I should explain the constraints I'm working with.

To begin with, this is a very big map. It will be very detailed. It's around 14000 pixels wide. To Earth's scale, that would make every pixel a little over 2² miles.
Here's a view of the full map's landmasses to give a sense of scale.

I'm starting with this section at the bottom left.

Closer up, the mountains look like this. The lines will be a part of the final maps style, but I acknowledge it might make it harder to tell what you're looking at.

The real question here is: Do these look like mountains? I'm going for a more topographic view, rather than the symbols fantasy maps typically use.

They can be interpreted as heavily stylized hillshaded terrain that's run through a screen process, yes. However, the level of detail on that last map makes it feel on the order of a few tens of miles across (maybe a couple of hundred across if I try really hard). But as stylized abstract mountain representations, they work just fine.

What's your map projection here?
