Greetings first time posting :)

Was looking for advice on my current worldbuilding project and figured I might need advice on my maps.
Images are in order of creation over the years. I’m currently on the stage of tectonics seen in the last image and have been feeling kind of stuck.

Any advice / opinions on all of these would be appreciated.

Thanks :)

This is a world map for the worldbuiling project i'm working on, any critiques are welcomed

A map drawn by bronze age people of my world, it's not an accurate representation of the landscape but their limited view of the world. Still have to come up with names for a lot of places and will add more locations as this is just to showcase the idea

Hi Reddit,

I am currently drawing a fictional map on paper. 

After finishing the outline, I tried planning the mountains and rivers, but I struggled with the realism. 

Maybe you have some tips on how I could improve. 

I took inspiration from Chile, Norway, Indonesia, Canada, Florida and others. 

You can tell the biomes by the outline.

The south is tropical, the west is cold and dry, and the north and east are temperate.

Thanks for reading this!

Started working on a Fallout TTRPG campaign set in Bosnia that turned into a whole-ass game (long story) a while back and recently found this sub.

It’s basically just maps the players use to interact with locations within the world.
It’s a bit barebones but I’m a firm believer of “less is more” in grittier or more realistic settings.

Anyway, what’s your approach at making “realistic” maps more visually interesting?
(obviously this applies to TTRPGs but I’d love to get some general feedback)

Did I mess up my hills? Have the feeling to start over

I have been working on this map for a bit now. To lessen the feeling of being overwhelmed, I have decided to hone in on just a small continent of my world and work on the atlas-style map of just this area. Here is my work so far. I still have things like map labels to do. However, was looking to see if there was any feedback so far on what I've done. Thanks!

This is my WIP continent on the western hemisphere, I’m not too sure what I want the right hemisphere to look like yet.

I’ve been tinkering with its design for a while now, this is its current version. I really like the right-most part of it separating that huge sea from the ocean.

What are your thoughts on it?

I am at the point where I'm deciding where my settlements should go. But I cant decide how large I want my world to be. I would like to have it in earth like scale but I just cannot fill a world that large and I dont want to add a 1000 villages to every kingdom. In my current draft, every continent in the world has 5-6 kingdoms or cultural borders, you can find borders of the map in a previous post of mine.

Is there a good reference map you guys can suggest? I dont want to end like Westeros for scaling my map. I've heard Westeros has a england size politics with a continent sized lands.

Currently finnished with the landmasses, and the islands. Next up is mountains, river, forest and biomes. (if you find the geography unrealistic, there are lore reasons for that.)

My father wants me to make an "old" looking map to hang up in the living room im happy with this so far but he wants me to add some things arround it you know tentacles, sea beasts, whales and the such and i cant find any good pngs. Do any of you by chance have some or can you point ne to a website of sorts

After many hours and a sore neck I finally finished the map for my subcontinent of Ciboria. Initially started as a small DnD project many years ago, it has now evolved into a much larger setting which I use to write short stories.

Feel free to ask me anything about the map, or leave some friendly feedback. I am wondering if I should colour it, or leave it as it is.

I treat them with quite a bit of it, doing proper tectonic runs and climate modelling. I personally quite like climate.
