[Brushes & Other Tools] Schwarzkreuz Map-Elements Collection

Hi,

I have decided to only run one thread here in the Mapping Elements Area and collect all my material for a more easier collecting and distributing.
With the time I want to put some new brushes and other Materials usefull for mapping in this, and open it for discussion.

For the Beginning, I want to post my grids, which I use to design new map-elements like Mountains. To use a grid is an easy way for me to have an overview and controll about the sizes usable for a map. The Grids are on an 300DPI roughly A4 Sheet, the base box size is 5mm x 5mm and increased always by one another dimension of 5 mm. Its helping me a lot to have mountains for each set in a decent number, if I stick to the amount on the sheet.


UPDATE 01: Edited Brushsets

Ok here is an example of what I archieved with the Grid as tool.

thats a great idea having the grid to use as a guide. i find when i make my brushes without the help of a grid they tend to end up strange sizes and especially with slightly off-orientations so i have to manually rotate them once theyre done. very handy tool

Here are several Hundreads of free Mountains from my past projects. You can use them for free personal Usage, but please contact me before using them for comercial uses.

Ok I decided to clean up my collection a bit. Hopefully this will see some order soon.

Here is my Venice Brush set, themed after some old Venice maps. Have Fun with it.

Over 500 free Brushes launched. Feel free to use them.

Going to give them a run and see.. :) I appreciate all the hard work..

It's very generous of you to give away so much of your work Schwarzkreuz. These are really top notch as well.

Oh well, Arsheesh, I am already finished another Brushset with about 500 Elements called Ras Algethi. But am nearly about to skip it. The newest Set called Carcosa have already 450 Brushes with about ~300 to be added, drawn with the excellent Nanotechnology Pens of the Pilot-G series. Also i need to finish my Altostratus Color Map set, another one adapting Torstans Mountains and at last another set adapting DJ's Pit of War style. About 50 A4 Textures have to be prepared and than also uploaded. I am only sharing the Sets, that I will no longer use. They got replaced by more advance Brushes.
