Free Assets, Have Fun!

[XCali]

Hi everyone,
Free Mapping Elements abound!

EDIT: Remember to check the other pages of this thread as well, every now and then I post more Map Elements.

Also, check out the maps I make freely available for adventures. It ranges from experiments to more detailed maps. Head here

These are map brushes and assets I created a while back. ((EDIT: Quite a few are not from Deviant Art, but ones I did for other pet projects) I posted some of them on my Starcave profile at deviant art. The .PNG version is available for quite a few of these. There are, however, GIMP .gbr's too. I don't use Photoshop, so I hope the .PNG's are useful.
As I go, I'll add more. Some of them are simple and some a bit more complex. So enjoy and create.
EDIT: I added the updated versions too.

***
Don't resell these as brushes or assets. I gave all of them for free. So please respect it.
But feel absolutely free to use them in maps or the like non-commercial or commercial. No credit needed, but it is very welcome.
(Optional) Just if you want, share a pick of your map created with these, I really am curious and keen to see what you all get up to.
(Optional) it would also be nice to discuss these assets with you. To hear what you think, or even what would you like to see

I had quite a bit of fun on this brush. It works surprisingly well. At least for me, it did. (its an older asset)

Hi!

The buildings for a top down map town or city map!
(Optional) It would be nice to hear, or even see what you all got up to with the brush sets(Assets).


P.S.
I have an updated version of my mountains on deviant art.

These are pretty damn awesome!

These are pretty damn awesome!

Hehehe. Thank you.

You are welcome to give feedback on how I can improve them, or even ask what kind of brushes you would really like to have. Those kind of things really help me in pointing to what kind of brushes would be helpful to people.

Thought I'd spend some time just sharpening up my Updated shrooms brush. There needs to be MOOAR SHROOMS. Hehe.

Anyway, I took the blue brush and tweaked and fiddled with it. Here are the .PNG versions.


Enjoy!!!

Well if you want some new ideas: How about some isometric brushes? Bridges perhaps... maybe waterfalls?

Isometric requires some planning. But, if I get the time, I will try to create some. Bridges and waterfalls definitely possible, though I would do a waterfall first. Mainly because it is more random instead of straight lines.

Anyway, here are my pine trees and trees with homes tweaked version.

Just so you know, I updated previous posts on this thread with new and updated versions.


EDIT 2021:

I added the trees further on in the thread, but I will post the one here as well.

This is a bamboo Asset.

.PNG

These two were altered from the hand drawn set I made and used for my Whispering Path challenge map. In some cases, I had to considerable shorten the bamboo trees.

Have fun with them.


Just a note, the thumbnails don't look very different from each other, but they are quite different.

Okay, this next set isn't strictly speaking ISOMETRIC. But it is close. It was a time way back when I didn't really understand that ISO is a specific set angle.

That said, the map that came from it came out really nice. Though I think this might actually work on regional or continents maps even.

Anyway, let me know how they handle.

First version was most of the ones I used on my Darkwood Harbour map.

Second one is mostly a Chalk version, (A nod out to Nopkin for the fun! Chalk really can make nice maps. )

These are two others I put together for my Whispering Path map, and far off variations of them.
As with everything in this thread, feel free to use them.
