Glad you like them! Yes they are quite overpowering, but if you have a William Blake type map which is all fire and brimstone, then they'd fit in quite well. The key to all of this (and one which I fail on every time) is consistency in elements. For a map to look good, IMO it must look like all the elements have been drawn by the same hand.

If you have the Alien Skinware bundle, reload them immediately! They are brilliant for mapmaking. Just don't read the titles of the filters as what they can only do. Fur can be sea, Clouds can be forests...etc. etc. just play with the effects. Run other filters on top of them, like a watercolour one on the sea.

But...keep it consistent!
