I hand drew a set of trees, made a tiling pattern, used the pattern brush to paint on sections of forest, then came back and removed/nudged sections here and there to try and break up the pattern a bit, but I think I should maybe have done a bit more on that. Next time I'm going to try making 2-3 versions of the base pattern, with alternate placements, sizes, and types of trees, layering them all and randomly cutting out layers to up the variety considerably.
awesome, thanks! I'd rep you for the fonts, but I already repped you for the map, and cannot again for a while.
