    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!

    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:

    Details:

    Add-on brush file (contains only the new "2nd pack" of forests+rivers):
    Attachment 95223

    (Yadda yadda credit nonsense: These Brushes may be used in private and non-commercial projects, only. Commercial use must request direct permission from the artist, do not share or distribute without authorization, unless linked to this source. Fair use copyright laws apply.)

    Best,
