I love old charts. Looks great.
Hey, pals! It's been a while, I hope everyone is doing all right and staying healthy.
Today I’m releasing Janssonius my latest free brush set. This one is a topographic with a nautical flair set based on Johannes Janssonius' 1650 nautical chart of the Bay of Bengal. Along with the standard symbols of settlements, flora, and landforms, I've also made sure to incorporated a whole host of maritime signs—rocks, sounding marks, shallows, and more. It'll be handy if you're telling a tale set on the high seas or want to add a flash of authenticity to the coasts of your map.
As with all my brushes, these are distributed under a CC0 license, which means they’re free to use for personal or commercial work, no attribution required! Let me know what you think, and if you end up using Janssonius, I’d love to see what you made.
You can read more about the set and download it over on my blog.
