I made the one on the left for a map I am working on, the other variations are from here and elsewhere, as examples...

I like the two in the middle. Are these brushes posted up here somewhere?

Those two in the middle are really nice, but I think I'll do the barrens by hand. If I get really bored and need a break I may look around for some brushes, or make my own.
I wasn't actually suggesting using those
I was suggesting making your own brush to paint them down.

My mistake. I may well try that. I hadn't actually thought of doing that for this map but it is a good method.
Regardless of how you do the pine barrens, this is looking very cool!
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...
Thanks Karro.
