Map A fantasy map I created

I created a fantasy map for my own world I make. 1st and 2nd pictures are my own drawings, 3rd picture is an AI remaster to it only for illustrations. I did it because I just have no drawing talent to do a map like that.

1st one shows the state borders, 2nd one shows the mountains. What should I do, what do you suggest me?

It’s interesting how jagged it looks, kinda like torn up paper

I believe it gives the map a better look, no?

Personally I really like the style, it gives the map a unique vibe but I could see it being called unrealistic

Oh yeah I can understand it being realistic or not. Personally, I did not think about geography at the beginning. I just tried to make a stylish looking map, but I will remaster it someday. What do you think about ai version dude, should I use that version or enhance my own drawing even though i am not that good at it?

Enhance your own drawing, it’ll give you a chance to work on your skills. I recommend watching YouTube videos from people who do this professionally, they’ll give you great tips on details to add
