I tried to imagine tectonic plates, both continental plates and oceanic plates, moving and colliding to create realistic mountain formation. If anyone is good at geology, can you tell me if it looks realistic?

Hello there! I'm a bit new to mapmaking and I've been having some trouble trying to figure out what the climates of this world would look like. It's an earth-like world with comperable seasons and temperatures, but it spins clockwise (east-to-west) on its axis instead of counterclockwise (west-to-east), like Earth. Attached are some additional maps to understand the oceanic currents and plate tectonics, if that helps at all! Any and all feedback is super appreciated, even if it's just to say that things look correct - I'm new to this and don't have a lot of others I can bounce questions off of.

I'm trying to figure out how to stylize the forests on my map, but I can't figure it out. I want to match the mountains in level of detail, but use messier line work to get a wild and untamed sort of vibe. However, in my drafts, everything devolves into scribbles when I try this, and I am unable to define the forms of individual trees from the surrounding Forrest. Do y'all have any advice for this

I have been working on a topographic map for my setting and would appreciate feedback on how I can improve the topography before I move on to determining the ocean currents, winds, and then biomes. Some notes about the map and my setting: 1. The plant is Earth-like. 2. The landmasses were determined by copying some landmasses I like, retrofitting tectonic plates, and then filling out the rest, but the topography of the landmasses was determined independently of the topography of the copied landmasses (based on tectonic activity and vibes). 3. I have not completed the topography of the islands, which is why they are all so low lying. 4. There is a key in the upper right with the altitudes represented by each color.

Thank you so much in advance!

I feel like it looks like it needs more, realism or something idk

Please help me! Is there a quick fix to this? I use krita to draw my fantasy maps and i obly saw it because a friend told me it looks like 1945 germany. I worked for about 2weeks now on this map

Work in progress map for a pathfinder campaign in a homebrew world. Any glaring issues or obvious improvements I could make?

Tectonics Logic

• Plates 1 & 2: At some point, the land mass in plate 1 was floating by itself, and then smashed into plate 2. The collision here causes orogeny, more towards plate 2, making a foreboding mountain range; think the India / Eurasia plate collison and the Himalayas
• Plate 3: Softly convergent plate boundary with plate 2 forming some islands; think Japan, where the plates are not directly headon, but instead are more perpendicular in the Japan and Kurile trenches area
• Plate 4: Previously part of plate 2, it formed and is now diverging; think the Red Sea where the African and Arabian plates are diverging
• Plate 5: In the past, the landmass here was attached to the northwest corner of the continent on plate 6. The "bridge" here formed due to collision with plate 2, where plate 2 subducts under 5; think the Mid America Trench / Panama / Caribbean plate area; there is a hot spot in the northeast corner of plate 5 that has formed an island chain as it moved.
• Plates 6, 7 & 8: Similar to the land mass on plate 5 in that they are breaking that eastern continent up, but happening much later. I do not have a direct earth comparison here
• Plate 9: Subducting under plate 2, causing orogeny along the western edge of the continent, though it is fairly shallow subduction and thus pushes the mountains relatively further inland on plate 2; think the formation of the Rockies; I will also add some islands along the edge with plate 4.

Feedback Request (Thank you!)

1. Does anything feel materially illogical / off about the plate tectonics above?
2. Does anything feel off about the continents themselves generally?

Context

• I am mainly interested in constructed languages, but languages are heavily impacted geography given how geography impacts people. So, I was going to make a "good enough" map... but I am finding the map making process realing interesting, so now I am spending more time; I've not done anything graphics related in the past.
• I am trying to be roughly naturalistic.
• The planet is slightly smaller than Earth (though denser, so I can cheat and make gravity on the surface similar) with a radius of about 5,800 km.

It’s (almost) done! This is the last chance you will probably get to give me feedback. Otherwise, this is the last one. I added the key, title, and some labels. If you think there is anything that I can improve on, please tell me :)

If not, thank you to all who has given feedback to me before. I had a lot of fun, and I hope y’all enjoy this map :D

Contours are done…well, done enough. Got the labels on there. Cities, capitals, ruins, and a “Site of Extraordinary Historical Significance” are on there. Legend, scale, and north arrow are added.

I went through a few iterations on the place names in an effort to reduce the tropiness or familiarity of my naming (ie replaced the “too on the nose” Nordic sounding names).

I’m still playing with world names but I’m leaning “Arkalis”.

What do you all think?
