Hello Everyone,

I'm a longtime lurker of the forums, and I finally decided to post something. This is the world map I'm developing for a fantasy graphic novel I've been working on. It's the first world map I've ever made so it was definitely a learning experience. I wanted to share what I've completed so far.

Looking at Earth as a guide, I've worked out the general land masses and elevations. I'm mainly concerned with the northwestern crescent-shaped continent, because that's where the story takes place.

I'm hoping to achieve shapes that look both aesthetically pleasing and somewhat plausible. The biggest thing I struggle with is getting decent mountain placement. (I tried to do a bit of the tectonics thing, but it confused me to no end so I just put them where I wanted them. )

I would really appreciate any opinions on how I can improve it. Thanks for reading!
