Finished a topographic style of my world map using only Inkarnate. Considering using physical map elements as well. Thoughts?

This style was achieved using over 18,000 of the 'dunes' stamp under the sci-fi battlemaps page. That's it. I set the stamps to an Overlay blend with a 3 point blur and cast a custom brown shadow. I also adjusted the opacity of many dunes in order to portray depth and uneven surfaces in less severe areas.
The darkness of the ridges indicates slope with cliffs being represented by nearly total black shadows with fairly sharp lines as apposed to super steep mountains that are nearly total black but are softened with a gradient.
The super skinny rivers were achieved by using the land shape mask's outline, stroke and inner shadows. By setting the outline to a slightly different blue than the ocean and by setting the stroke and inner shadow to a slightly darker shade of land, I was able to squeeze the rivers thinner while also giving them a perceived depth.
