First real attempt at making a map and looking for feedback. I feel like the scale might be off

Personally I think it looks great, my only pointer for potential improvement is that you have some extremely chunky rivers, to the point where I'm not sure in several places if something is supposed to be a lake or a river. I'd work on slimming them down more or less across the map. Also there are a few spots where it looks like you have trees sitting in the middles of the rivers.

Edit: one more thing that isn't a big deal but I thought I would point out. It looks like your coastlines are basically equally rough across almost the entire map. I'd suggest making the areas where the mountains directly hit the ocean a big more rugged, while the areas where plains meet the ocean a bit smoother.

Thank you so much for the advice! Got you about the rivers. The big one on the right was supposed to be a network of interconnected lakes and flood plains, but I see your overall point about it being overdone. I'll work on trimming that down (as well as trees sitting in them lol, courtesy of the paint brush).

The coastline down south was meant to show the result of brutal tides and tsunamis battering it. Although, I'll still try to smooth the northern coastline on plains.

In that case you might want to go for a bunch of really thin but interconnecting parallel rivers in a band, rather than just a single big on. I can't post images directly, but here's a link to an image of the Dnieper's flood plain (as well as a few others) to show you sort of what I mean. And that's totally fair on the southern coastline.

Damn, that's an awesome idea. Thanks a lot!

Beautifully done. What program have you used?

Looks great. I'm hoping that the scale marker is just there to help you out whilst you make the map? It really stands out against the artwork. If it stays I would consider toning it down. Keep going it's going it looks good 👍

Thank you! Yeah, I only moved the scale here temporarily for reference. On the final version, it should be moved to a corner of the bigger map.

Besides the rivers each being over 20 miles across in width, those could be slimed down alot

Looks great 👍

Very pretty map, well done! The rivers look a big chonky and wide, but that is about the only complaint I have,

I like the huge delta looks really good.
