Hand-drawn map elements

That is absolutely brilliant!!!
I'm glad i though of that!!

Seriously though, I'm suprised this method hasn't come up before, it really is one of the best ideas i've seen for hand drawn forests.
**rep** (if it will let me)

I doubt the method is all that new, it's just that not many people are stupid enough to make an image of that size out of little trees. It's only really worth the time and effort of doing such a thing if you have some large forests you need to put it or if you have lots and lots of forests to do (such as I will have over the series of Vaniya maps I no doubt will do). But once it's done it's done, so hopefully I can now place all my large and medium sized forests really quickly. It will probably still be quicker to do small forests with individual brushes.

Anyway, it wasn't a lot of fun to do I can tell you. Hehe.

Some new brushes to add that I've made today. I fixed the cottage to make it more iso and then added a bunch of alternative cottages. I fixed the castle to be more iso. I fixed the church a tiny bit to more be more iso. I also added a few tents into the mix.



I've uploaded these new brushes into the original post. Sorry that they are in no particular order in the file or mostly unnamed.

Next thing for me to tackle is to fix the perspective of the little city icon and add a bunch of alternative ones. I'll get them posted once I've done them.
