    Personally, I think it looks fine as is. I wouldn't change a thing on it. I even snagged a copy for myself to learn from.

    I think Ascension is right your map is great like it is... but I would like to help you out. It might take me some time though...

    Here is one brush I just made as a test to see if I can make that style... I think the test went well but that is for you to say. If you like this one I can make some more... just let me know what kind/shape of trees that you want?

    The brush is made in Photoshop 7... the brush was set around 35px and the layer they are on was set to 70% opacity.

    Sure! I like the style of those brushes, I would like to experiment in other projects

    Thank you very much! You are right, that piece of map can be fine as is. My problem is that I do many other places, and I would differ a little vegetation.

    My project is huge: I am a writer and I started drawing maps to add them to my stories. My world is gigantic, the map that I made just a bit. For this I need more variety of brushes.

    Thanks! Really a wonderful job, that's exactly what I wanted.

    I need a couple of conifers, a couple or three trees with rounded leaves (like those of Tolkien's maps), one or two palms, a couple of dead trees and something for the marshes.

    Thanks again for the wonderful work!

    By the way, if you can help, I have put the model that I have built collecting brushes on the Internet.

    Well, I have made some more and re-touched some of my existing dead trees brushes and I think you will like most of them

    let me know if you need more and what I might do to make the pack more to your liking.

    Great! All perfect, thank you very much! Would it be possible to do even a few palm trees or something to make an oasis?

    Anyway, thank you for the wonderful job done!

    So I see the move took out the palm trees I posted...

    *Edit* Looks like I can upload attachments... not sure what the issue was but RobA said there is not an overall limit to attachments just some funny way the webhost limits the number of files in the folders. I am quite sure the Admins will work it out. For now here is the Palm Trees
