I made some brushes out of the city textures that are visible through Helmer's office window on Second Miltia in XSII, so I thought I'd share them here in case anyone else can make use of them.
Basically, I was doing a fanfart (which I guess I'll post in my actual fanart thread later, whenever I get my crap together to do a Xenotober summary) and I wanted to recreate this view of the skyline:

So I used the texture maps from that scene, which look like this:

Each building (or group of buildings for the smaller ones) was a separate image texture that I set as a brush tip shape in grayscale, so that it paints at varying levels of opacity in whatever the paint color is. At some point I'd like to do something more like a stamp brush that preserves the original colors, but this worked pretty well for the effect I wanted.

I think this brush format (.sut) only works in Clip Studio, but it might be possible to convert it to a Photoshop-compatible format if anyone's interested. Feel free to use it for whatever!
