I like it. Very evocative of an 18th century print.
How are you going about expediting the coasts?
WIP - Hammering out a new brush set
I spent some time working on a new brush set over the weekend. I'm liking how this is coming along.
I'm also experiementing with some coast line effects to get that hand-done hatched look but using only a few steps.
I think I'm getting close.

Thanks! My personal goal is to facilitate folks to replicate early engraving techniques digitally. This set is based on a map from 1733.
Regarding the coast, I'll put together a tutorial when I've settled on a system that is easy to replicate. Right now it's a combo of a pattern brush, a few wave distortions, and noise.

Most of the names are taken from Lovecraft and the broader mythos.

Here's where I ended up. (You can download the brush set—it's call Popple—and use it yourself, link in my signature.)
