Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Keep in mind by the time they get to a mountain slope they are significantly reduced in size. Overall I like the direction your map has and that you have considered climate and rain shielding! Consider widening your mountains. If it is in photoshop take the layer and use the transform tool to widen them (ctrl t). That said mountains can definitely have very sheer and steep slopes like the matterhorn for example.
