Whirlpools

[Sheyd]

Greetings and salutations Cartographers!

I am a long time lurker on this fine forum enjoying the maps done by those much better than I. I have used Gidde's tutorial to much success as I like that style of map design. I have come up against an issue though and thought I would ask here.

I want to put a whirlpool (hence the title of the thread) on one of my maps but I lack the ability to draw one that doesn't make me wretch. I think once I may have seen a brush for one in the same style as the Gidde map tutorial produces again I think I did. Would one of you august personages know of something that might help me in my quandary?

like these two very quickly done ones



in gimp 2.8.14 make a plasma noise , then use Iwarp ( built in plugin) to swirl it

each took about 1 min.

I used a 3D program to create twisting and sinking water's surface for whirlpools in my maps. Here's a map that uses that - looking in the deepest cave in the following map...
