    Hi. Glad you fixed the rivers

    I would rethink the desert (tan) and forest/grass/jungle (green), especially on the western continent. I think it is less likely to have an arid coast and a wet inland than the other way around.

    Also, stylistically, what are you trying to achieve with the double outlined large mass in the center north?

    But, the tan is not deserts, it's plains ... Deserts are yellow. But maybe I haven't understood ...

    The double outlined mass is a very high (9 km) plate. In my other map, it is called "Plateau d'Azgarnh" (Plate of Azgarnh). The two lines delimited the cliffs.

    The problems of no legend To me deserts are brown, and plains are a golden yellow... comes from growing up in the Canadian prairie, I guess

    I would suggest some sort of scale. If this world is the size of Earth, then the river on the western continent would put the Nile or the Amazon to shame. In addition, it would be very odd to have a single river be the drainage for an entire continent.

    I do like the overall look of the map though, but those are just two things that jumped out at me.

    Voluntarily, there isn't scale. But yes, this world is the size of Earth.
    The river is too long ? Ok, but this continent is a continent of very high fantasy (it's inhabited by giants) and I wanted to show it. So, the river is voluntarily disproportioned.

    Please excuse my bad english, I'm french and I'm tired ^^
