Just updated our campaign map with some new stuff for tonight’s game. I thought I’d share it here because I like the way it’s coming together. There’s still plenty of blanks to explore!

Hey nice map! What have you used to create this map?
Thank you! I use Gimp with some freely available fantasy brushes for the mountains, trees, and steadings.
Nice job. I think that is far away for my skills.
Really awesome. Which brushes did you use? I like the shore-water ripple effect. How did you do that?
I love the trees.
Looks like something that makes players WANT to explore! Great job.
Thank you all! Dan Paredes I’m not certain the name of the brushes, but I pulled them off DeviantArt a few years ago. I’ll let you know if I find them again.
As for the water ripple, that’s an inverted select on the blank space outside of the land mass, grown by 5 and 10 pixels, and tracing the selection each time using a 2px pencil with random dynamics, jitter and incremental. Nothing to it. 🙂
And five seconds later I find the brushes. Dan Paredes they are Sketchy Cartography Brushes by StarRaven, found here: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Sketchy-Cartography-Brushes-198264358
/sub for the brushes
Beautiful
Sub. We have a pencil map made with perilous wilds I want to throw into digital at some point…
I downloaded the brushes, but it says they are Photoshop brushes – do these work with Gimp?
Randy Stoda yes, ps brushes work in gimp.
Very nice map, I really like it. I’ll give the same advice I’ve given before, rivers always flow out somewhere. They never stop abruptly. Unless you’ve got some magical explanation of course 🙂
