Some mountains, if you'd like them.

Wonderful! Thanks so much for these!

Rivers, of some variety. Going to have to revisit and make more to break up the monotony a bit...

Consider this "Pack 1". Gotta make more..

Of course! You're welcome.

Thanks for sharing those, they're amazing! I wonder if you could help me out a bit here, though. Which tool is best to use your brushes with, i.e. how to apply them to the best effect? I wanted to play around a little in Photoshop today, only to find the larger mountain brushes are in fact so large (~1500px) I couldn't use like more than a few in each corner of the map. Which of course has setbacks, as a large psd with a decent resolution becomes mind-boggingly big in filesize and memory drainage. Sizing down a brush didn't seem like a pretty idea to me either, the details would get all blurred. Would appreciate any sort of advice, and thanks again for sharing!

I've been deathly busy with graduate school, so I've been absentee here for a little bit - but yes I figure that might be a difficulty! I just assumed everyone had fast machines these days (mine is almost 10 years old and still holds up). The brushes are large, you're correct. They're basically at the same scale at which I scanned them. I've considered doing some smaller drawn mountains- but I think what I might do is just take the brush sets and make a 1/2 res size, or 1/4 res, so that you wouldn't have to re-size each brush individually. I personally prefer working at the larger scale, as I can erase much more easily and make adjustments more quickly. I imagine i would eventually just shrink down my entire image after I was done.

When I get some free time, finally, I'll make a smaller version of the brushes to be used. I also want to revisit some of the mountains and rivers, as I feel they are definitely large and hard to use more than once or twice in a map - some middle sized, more generalized mountains might be nice. The ones currently in the files are pretty pronounced.

I'll let you know when I'm back in commission, but for now I'm out. Gimme a little bit.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward to it!

Hi all, Updates:
2nd pack of some smaller, noisier forests - and some smaller, straighter rivers in multiple directions. Also 3 misc stamps (small craters and such)

Also, I've added a 1/2 resolution size of the brushes to the main posts (Does not include new rivers and forests, I'll do that next update)

Attached are the new rivers and forests, and examples:
Attachment 95220

Details:

Add-on brush file (contains only the new "2nd pack" of forests+rivers):
