Map/Land Mass Brushes by JoshWorlds

Hello fellow worldbuilders!

Here you'll find brushes I created and configured for use in the creation of earth-like world maps. Each brush appears twice in the set - once with default configuration, then again with "jitter" settings enabled to vary the size and rotation of these brushes.

When I use these, I often find myself tweaking the brush settings even beyond these presets, so feel free to have fun! I will be uploading a tutorial on creating and configuring your own brushes soon, but in the meantime, head on over to Bonvanello for the basics. His tutorial got me started on this path!

I recommend using these brushes for both adding and subtracting land, with the brush/eraser tools. The more you overlap and add variety to the mix, the more unique your map will become!

Image resolutions over 4000x4000 should be used for these to work most effectively.

Check my tutorials out for more information on how to use them:

Also featured in this set is "Rock Big" by way of TsaoShin (who also got it from someone else!) This brush is my primary land/ocean texturing tool - Using it with various splashes of earthy colors creates the terrain effects seen in the preview.

More mapmaking tools and tutorials to come!
