Not easy when these tiles are small, you might get something like this: Using Gimp 2.8
1. A grown selection based on the land area. A little distortion to the selection Select -> Distort (very small values) Then a new white layer filled with gray.
2. Using layer, Filters -> Edge Detect -> Neon again with small values.
3. That layer eroded Filters -> Generic -> Erode
4. Colored blue Colours -> Colorify and the layer in Screen Mode.
The land border is just a selection stroked. No fade out along the coast line, that would be a another layer and a layer mask (probably).
Almost certainly not the way it was done. possibly from https://www.cartographersguild.com/showt...php?t=1142
I really advise you to look at this for general ideas, concepts and procedures. It is long and not easy going.
There is even a script devolved from that but learn how to get there using standard tools first. Not much learned using a script like this: https://www.gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php/...GIMP?t=769
