Hand-drawn map elements

Here is yet another one combining 4 or 5 of Ramah's shaded icons into a single city icon with coloring. There are a few places where the coloring is not all the way to the edges, but you have to zoom in an look hard to see them. Also, I added all the masks first and then put a layer under to color. What I should have done is to color each icon as I placed them, and then follow up with masking it out as a new icon was laid over top. It was much more painful to try to stay within the lines so to speak the way I did it lol... If anyone wants the GIMP brush, let me know...

Truly amazing, thanks for making these available.

I've started to work on a map using these icons, only the trees, mountains and hills are in yet, but I thought you might want to see the results so far.

Congrats! ^^

These are amazing, and exactly what I was looking for ... repped and rated. Thanks for sharing them!

I'm totally new here and working on my first map. These look like they're going to make it possible; thank you so much!

Edit: I should say I'm a long-time lurker, newb in the participation department.

Came across a link to these, and they are awesome! I can't open .abr files, however. Is there a way I can get them in a different file format?

Oh, and btw, repped!

GIMP will read the .abr file as a regular GIMP brush. Place the .abr file in your GIMP share folder in the subfolder "Brushes" and you'll be able to use these.

Except that it doesn't. I put it in the "Brushes" subfolder, but it doesn't appear, and why I try to manually open the file I get this notification:

Opening 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes\Markers_Shaded.abr' failed: Unknown file type

Are you restarting GIMP after putting the brushes in the folder?
