Following Doing things to the whole map canvas in QGIS<\/a> and adding some blending to the mix (he-he), I ended up with this map. Nothing you could not do with simple post-processing in a raster image editor or even QGIS’ map composer I guess.<\/p>\n

\"stain\"<\/p>\n

It was simply the result of playing around, there probably is a faster or more efficient way.<\/p>\n

First give your geometries some fancy texture with Raster image fill (left). Then constrict its display to just some blurry borders by using a grey fill, Blur draw effect with maximum strength and the Dodge Layer blending mode (right).

You could probably skip the texture for the geometry but I did not manage to get a similarly nice effect with a Simple fill.<\/p>\n

Use the trick from Doing things to the whole map canvas in QGIS<\/a> to fill your canvas with a polygon and give that a nice texture as well. Use Multiply as Layer blending mode and get social media hype for that unbelievable stain can you believe it looks like that???<\/p>\n

From the same session comes this beauty (mostly due to Tom Patterson’s shading of course ;) ):
