Artists Have a Language.. Who Knew!

Nice Work Chobomaster, I like the way you do things. I has a nice "Liney/linesk"
style to it. It's new around here.. At least I think it's new around here...

. Anyway, I'm wondering, do you know exactly how the intuos performs over the graphire? I know it has 1024 pressure levels. But what exactly is the tilt feature.. does it mean your angle of tilt to the tablet cause the stroke to be thinner/thicker like calligraphy? Does it also take into account the angle of rotation, like say you have a star shaped brush -- will it rotate if you twirl the stylus?

I guess what i want to know is, does the intuos make it feel more like you're painting with a brush?

I haven't used the graphire myself, only intuos3, so I cannot compare, but I can say that the degree of painterliness is probably entirely dependent on how you customize your brush in Painter.

I haven't delved into it too much, because I get overwhelmed by all the choices after a while, but when you are in the brush creator you can see all the options to vary based on pressure, tilt, bearing, direction, yadda yadda yadda. And if you get Wacom's 6D brush it probably gets even more fun.

Your work is similar to:

Morisot
Monet
Manet
Renoir

And I can tell you that's something special in these times. Not many people can do it. Nowdays, if it's not taking a close stab at photo-realism, it's more of a cartoon. Most artists are more concerned with the figure and the precision of detail (like I tend to be) than of the color, movement, light, and emotion. I think it's very important to capture those things, especially for someone who was willing to spend money (be it in-game) for a portrait of their character. It means there IS emotion there and it's not just some pixels on a screen. I, myself, fall short in that department, because I get caught up in so much detail that the emotion sometimes gets lost.

Your work has been very inspiring!

Other characteristics of Impressionism include broken color. Broken color is a term in which instead of mixing a green, you use shimmering flecks of yellow and blue to create a more lively green, that shimmers on the surface. Your pictures use broken color (though not as extensively as some Imressionists like Seurat, whose paintings consisted of only dots)

Thx IMAU & rune.

Foxeye -- thx for the reply. I've yet to explore the brush creator in painter.. still not even used to their built in brushes & what the basic settings do. haha.
