Playing with trees in Gimp

They look great... Fuzzy--as in like, with fuzz and stuff, not blurry--but very forest-y.

Okay, here's a slightly updated version.

Or (slight tweak)

Whilst doing this I remembered that I created an animated tree brush a while ago. Here is what it looks like in use (yes, it's unashamedly based on that rather nifty Narnia map that someone linked to recently):



And here's the brush.

I'll post this over on the resources forum as well for anyone that wants them.

Here's a couple attempts... a slight variation on the method Dan Chops developed as a variation on RobA's original regional map style.

They're only subtly different.

I like the second one more. You have to be careful when using some sort of bump-texture/caliuquer thing as it's really easy to spot if its covering a large single area. The second one seems to have abit of a variety in the texture while the first has an unvaried overlay over the whole patch.

Interesting, thanks. I'll probably use some variation of the second going forward. I'm still learning how to do this the best way I can!
