Continent of Wemen - personal project

[Rickon]

Hey, the past weeks I've been knee-deep in school assignments but sneaked in a little contemplating. I realised the story I'm working on atm do not require the whole world to be mapped; I cut out the part of the world I'm planning to use (+ a little more if need arises), reworked the coast & added a few lakes.
The map is approximately the size of Europe.

Won't most likely update in a while but I thought I'd post to gather some opinions on what's done.

Really nice land shape Rickon.

Thanks a lot! Not very satisfied of the northern coast though, thinking of making the three steps into a more curved shape.
Oh and 50% unrelated: What do people think of conlang for names exlusively? I've spent some weeks writing down a lot of words and names with translations and I've been torn whether or not to use the conlang.

Looking good. The old made was pretty good in my opinion.

[Rickon]

The overall shape were good but I had too jagged and irregular coasts for a continent, will redo the whole continent later on but for now I'm just going to focus on this part as it's the only part of the map that is relevant. As well did I realise the size of the continent as I imagine the peninsula to the east would be a little smaller than France, Spain, Germany or Poland.

I see what you mean about those 3 stepped areas. Understandable.
I see no problem with using a conlang. I've done that a few times.

Close up on the country I will most likely use as primary story location. Reworked some coast, added a few outlets of rivers, bays & islands. Got two versions I'm fairly torn about, one with a few additional islands and another with less.

It feels like too many right there in the same spot.
Sort of like, if there were more islands they might be spread out more.
Not sure if this helps to explain or not...

Yeah, that looks better, will decrease the amount of islands and move them further apart.
