When you did the forests on your map, Vaniya, did you put down each tree individually or did you have a certain brush setting or technique. I ask because I am that same stage on my map and anything thing that would help to make ht job a little easier would be most welcomed, damn big maps.

-D-

hi ramah!

that´s great news!
please drop me an email because I would like to get into contact with you personal for a few questions! (private messages don´t work for me in here...)
you can address your mail to andre@megalith-games.com
thanks!

Salgoth: It's fine to use the brushes in whatever way you see fit. As long as people don't claim they made themselves I have no problem with people making money from utilising them well.

hi ramah,

thanks again for the cool brushes you´ve created!
I have one more question regarding the usage of the brushes: as far as I could see, the brushes are free to use for everyone and I wonder if that would also apply to commercial products? I am managing director of megalith games (www.megalith-games.com) and we would really like to use your brushes for a world map of a tabletop game that we are going to release this year. please let me know if this would be ok for you! we would really appreciate it and of course you would be mentioned as an official reference inside the rulebook, if you wish to! thanks a lot! best regards, andré

Ramah,

My name is Shane. I am part of a two man team currently producing a tabletop game manual. My partner, Jon, and I were curious if you would be interested in doing a commissioned piece.

If you are interested, or want more details, please email us at EmpyreanGames@gmail.com.

Thank you, Shane

wanted to tank you for the brushes ( mountains / tree's ) i found on the forum , you made my first attempt a reasonable success !

did you draw those by hand and then scan them ( pen drawings? ) or did you make em in photoshop ? cause ive tried mimicking them in photoshop with slight alterations ( like volcano , mountain with cave ect ..) but i just can seem to get the same brush strokes as your original has ...

Ramah,

I always forget how big those PSD files get. A website like Megaupload.com or Sizablesend.com can email up to 1 or 2 GB I believe. No idea what size your map is, so no clue if its in that range.

So if that doesn't work, I would love a blank map without any towns, cities, countries, etc. Adding those kinds of details is not difficult. Its not the flexibility of having the whole file open to tinkering, but its more than enough for my purposes I think.

Thanks for being so willing to share your work. I appreciate it.

Cesar de Quart - if you make a selection of your landmass then go to Select->Modify->Expand you can input a figure in pixels that you would like it to expand by. If you expand it by varying amounts and then do an Edit->Stroke you can get the concentric outlines that are spaced further and further apart.

Hey there Lebkin.

Well the original PSD files are a little large for uploading or probably even sending. If you want me to upload a version without labels or city and town markers etc. I can do that for you. Just let me know what youwant.

In reference to your beautiful Vaniya map you wrote

P.s. - I'm not sure what use anyone could get out of this other than me, but if you feel the need then knock yourself out. Just consider it under the usual CC copyright thingymajig that people bang on about around here.

Well, I have a use for it. It would a perfect starting point for a D&D campaign I am looking to run. Dungeon Mastering I do well, map making I do not. As such though, I would like to be able to tweak things, add notes, etc. Would it be possible to get the original photoshop file? Working with layers would be easier than editing with the jpeg, but I can do that if need be. Thanks,
