Stains & Distress Marks – Aging Effects Kit – Assets Megapack

Description

You can use this assets pack with Wonderdraft as well as any image editing software such as Photoshop or GIMP.

Take your maps to a whole new level with this Aging Effects Kit, featuring 186 meticulously crafted assets inspired by authentic 1600s and 1700s cartography. From ink stains, blood splatters, coffee rings, water damage, tears, burn marks, wear marks, and erasures, each element has been carefully mimicked or extracted from scanned historical documents for unparalleled realism. The result? Fantasy maps so authentic they could be mistaken for ancient relics rediscovered after centuries. Use the sample color version to add wear marks directly to your symbols, creating maps with a truly aged and timeless look. These resources are designed for Wonderdraft, but easily usable in other softwares like Inkarnate (Wonderdraft assets are just .png files).

Instructions for use with Photoshop or Gimp or any other image editing software

You can use the included PNG images with these software programs.

For images labeled as ‘normal color,’ you can use them as-is in all of your image software.

For images labeled as ‘sample color,’ if you want to create a transparent background and only keep the outlines so you can add your own colors, it’s best to put the layer with the image(s) in ‘multiply’ mode. This will make the white color completely transparent, allowing you to keep only the black lines.

For images labeled as ‘custom color,’ you can choose your own colors by changing the hue of each of the three primary colors separately.

May your journeys through cartography assets & fantasy map symbols be filled with boundless imagination and endless discovery. Happy mapping!
