My first map (Saderan tutorial) Getting realistic mountains?

[Revock]

I agree with the "too centered" comment, otherwise the mountains themselves look good, just a bit too big for a continent. IMO things like mountains set the sense of scale and if they are big in relation to what's supposed to be a continent they make it look like an island. there mountains I've said it! you are my bane!

http://www.globeltechnology.com/2011...himalayas.html I found this bit on the Himalayas for reference, 125 to 250 miles wide for the entire range so i would figure that into a percent of the entire width of my landmass to judge how wide to make the single mountain or range. Length i would think is another matter entirely since it would depend on the plate boundary length and movement i.e. buckling or one plate forced under another that formed it?

Big guys? step in and smack me down here, I'm trying to get better.
