Sketchy Map Symbols and Magic Circles
EDIT 4/8/2014: IMPORTANT!
These brushes were initially released under a noncommercial license; they are now free for any use -- including commercial works -- with the sole condition that you give credit where credit is due when convenient. If you use these and post the art here or on a website like deviantART, just mention somewhere in your description where you got the brushes so that someone else can use them if they like them. That's all I ask! Thank you for all your support. <3

So, I was unexpectedly busy, blah blah excuses, and I was going to wait until I had finished the circle things too and put them in the same set, but then I realized that was stupid so here they are:

I'll get to those creatures; I completely forgot them! Any suggestions for what kinds of creatures? The ones in the example are a hydra, a griffin, and alphyns. And I can't have a set of monsters without a sea dragon, of course.
Also, sorry to link of deviantART instead of just uploading here, but that way I only have to upload to one place if I change the file....
Original Post:
So, I'm working on a new map and a new set of brushes! So far, I'm working on basically the same elements that are in my previous set of brushes, but since I've got a tablet now, they're drawn by hand instead of by mouse! (I think they're a lot better, too.) Right now I'm making the terrain blocks based on Ramah's tutorial which have been really useful, and trying to think of some different building shapes for the little town icons. As soon as I'm done with that, I'll compile the brush set and upload it here.
Here's what I've got so far:

Some other things I think I want to add to this set are some embellishments like the creatures on this traditional map:

I think I'd also like to do a set of the magic circle designs like the one in this map (in the ocean) -

- and I'm curious to know if anyone would be interested in them or the wonky font I used to make them. (The font could use some changes - there are some ugly symbols in there that just didn't work out and I need to fix them up, and maybe add some more.) I'm also looking at making a more elegant set of symbols (since most of these are very thick and blocky and not all of them match well.)

Sorry about the wait. Here's the first bunch! (In the main post, so as not to lose track of everything.)
