    The mountains look pretty plausible to me. Most are toward edges of landmasses, which matches Earthly mountain uplift processes (as theorized). They could use some more finely divided crinklyness, if that makes sense - as-drawn they are massive monolithic chunks, instead of ranges of ridges and valleys.

    What's your purpose? That'll partly determine what details you should include.

    Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't even notice it until after I saw your post.

    Now that you mention it I see what you mean about the mountains just being blob-chunks. My next post will have my update.
    As per purpose, it's a story/RPG map. I've just started working on some of the rivers now.

    Here is some more progress with the advice from Jbgi about the mountains + Thrum regarding the coastlines.

    You can tell which island I haven't gotten to yet.
