    Link Harrewyn: A Free 18th Century Cartography Brush Set for Fantasy Maps

    Greetings! Today I’m excited to announce the release of Harrewyn, my tenth free cartography brush set for Photoshop (and GIMP). This set is fantastic and has a great gothic feel, which would be perfect for a fantasy setting. The signs and symbols within are taken from “Cartes des Paysbas et des Frontieres de France"—an incredibly detailed 18th Century map of northern France and Belgium etched by Jacobus Harrewijn. As with all my brushes, these are distributed under a CC0 license, which means they’re free to use for personal or commercial work, no attribution required!

    As always, let me know what you think. I’d love to see what you make, and please feel free to share this anywhere appropriate.

    You can read more about Harrewyn and download the set over on my blog.

    I love this antique style, so I'll certainly be giving them a try. Thanks so much for making and freely sharing them. They look fantastic.

    They look incredible! I'm going to give these (and your others) a try out since I just downloaded GIMP and was wondering where to start.

    I've made it a personal goal in 2019 to release one new set per month. Just under the wire for July but I got it done.

    Super cool! I was about to bring my tablet on a trip, with no plan on what to do...this will give me some ideas! Thanks for your efforts making these.
