Any advice on how to create continents/worlds? Whenever I try to draw a world map onInkarnateit never feels "right". It feels like I'm just dropping down entirely random shapes instead of creating a world that's both aesthetically pleasing and plausible (by which I don't mean per se that such a thing could happen in reality, just that it looks plausible enough not to be called out on its bullshit at first glance).

Try going for something aesthetically pleasing. Continents made of majestic sweeping lines with nice concave bays, and strings of archipelagos around jutting areas.
I haven't checked but there's probably a ton of generators on the net too. Gen up some for inspiration.
Do you have the game Civilization? Or any 4x game that makes a map of a planet? That's something you can use too.

This is what I use to knock up a country/continent map on the quick. Probably better methods (and if anyone wants to post them I'm all for it), but it gets the job done.
As for making the shapes plausible/pleasing? From what I've tried and heard from others, it's more or less a combination of trial-and-error teaking and sheer dumb-luck. Sometimes something will look hopelessly shit but then you'll gently fiddle with one pointy bit and suddenly it's fucking LUSH.
Since we're talking worldbuilding: Has anyone ever done a setting where a nonhuman race is the dominant/main species and humans are comparatively rare/exotic? If so, how'd it go for you?

Oh, that's neat. I downloaded GIMP ages ago but never used it so I might as well do this and see how far I get.

I hate to be a faggot that needs handholding but how do you do this in GIMP 2?It also doesn't help that I didn't install it in English

It's in the 'colors' tab. Click 'edit as levels' and you're good to go m8.
