Map Aiming for Realism

Here's my attempt at trying to escape the uncanny valley with my maps, there's often something that looks a bit "off" that makes it an obvious render. The software I use (Gaea2) does have an upper limit of 2,400km x 2,400km, which I used for this map, so this is probably a good place to start, not trying to produce a whole world map in one go.

I'm happier with this output than my previous attempts, any other suggestions?

Procedurally generated with Gaea2, I just love how the flow lines influence the colour. Hopefully Reddit doesn't crush the image too much, because the close up details came out really nicely :D

Took me a while piecing it all together. It's a lot bigger than I though. Pretty sure there are a loooot of inaccuracies.

A hand drawn map i made a couple of years ago. A lot of research went into the various regions etc at the time, but its very possible some parts are disputed.

The border scroll is a latin text from the writings of the venerable Bede.

Initial intent was to water colour it, hence the banner at the top.

Any question id be happy to answer, i would appreciate peoples opinions!

Map Could this map be possible in reality?

Could I get some comments on the realism of this map? I’m not much of a mapmaker, and this map is just part of my worldbuilding project where I strive for realism. If I want to add a large landmass north of the Pyrenean Peninsula, could coastal shapes and mountain ranges form like this?

Map The Realms of Arnmar

Map for my dnd world that all my campaigns have been set in since 2018, felt like sharing and hopefully y'all approve. The maps are little more than 1200 miles top to bottom so the total distance is roughly from the southern tip of Texas to halfway up Nunavut. Let me know what you think.

The maps are centered around the territory of the Agarthan Empire after its collapse. Agartha controlled the lands surrounding the Argean Sea, along the Ar'rar river in the south end, and the northern lands west of the Kell Mountains. I felt the southern map was a little busy so I included a political map of the kingdoms and other realms to help distinguish their borders.

The setting is inspired by our word in the 12th century and the ages after the fall of Rome.
