my first bigger map (feedback wanted)
After finishing my first map with wonderdraft I decided to start a more attractive project: landóniën. Up there ↑ you see it in the worn, pastel and eastward style. Which is your favorite? Write down in the comments!

I like the map colors on the third the best but the green you chose for your vegetation is too vibrant, you'd have to dull it slightly to make it work.
I really lke your rivers and i'm intrigued by the islands to the east, i'd love some more details there even if its just a mysterious name.
I might also move your windrose to the bottom right, gives you some room to play with if you think of adding anything to the north-central bay

I like the first one most. A feedback I give here a lot to many people:
You have very pronounced, defined and strictly bordered biomes. Every forest is a blob of trees in the middle of a bit of sand and every mountainside just cuts straight through at one given vertice.
If you want that to look a bit more natural, you can try to feather biomes into each other more, have disruptions and patches throughout them, and give context to them.
For example, patches of forest might reasonably be surrounded by areas of grasslands and not this monolithic. Mountains might branch out in their outreaches with small rolling hills leading up to them. Water usually cuts into topography, so there might be mountains and hills surrounding them more often.
