Btw, does anyone know how you can make a forest brush in Photoshop that doesn't just clutter up the screen?

Take this one for instance:



If I try to use it to make a forest, I end up with this mess:



Is there a trick to this I'm not getting, or can it just not be done in Photoshop?

This is a common problem. In GIMP, there is a setting called spacing(set when you save the brush) which controls how close together brush drops when you keep painting. Too small, and the drawn thing looks like a blob of color. In GIMP at least, this setting appears to be something like a percentage offset type thing....

Another option is to create a pattern for the majority of the trees (where you won't see the trunks) and paint that down, and then just lay down your full trees along the front "row". Check out the tutorial by Del on hand drawing(I think thats it...)

I like your style... Giving a feeling of old time parchment to let your players entering the world they're playing in...
Really pleasant to read this map, Elvish...
