    Well the top landmasses appear to be melting so I'd probably cut them up or reduce the "drip" somewhat. The mountain range in the middle isn't all that realistic curving around like it does but it's your world so if you want them that way then so be it. Deserts usually form around the Tropics (of Cancer and Capricorn), which is roughly 30 degrees above and below the equator, so I'd move it down a bit which would require changing the land shape. So I'd cut that big blob off from the the top and move it up a bit and put a big desert there. The chain looks cool and the huge continents on either side of the globe add some mystery.

    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    Don't 'hey it's your world' me! I told you I didn't like it and was looking for the suggestions, <3

    Anyway, I'll resketch some of it and try again. I tried to keep the deserts around the 20-40 degree area, but meh. I'll put up a ruler next time and be more careful. I'll post new sketches in a bit.
