"Sunny Shooting Star" It's my only new work in the last year, It's about a collage of old designs and somme Verve layers for the color, the background and clouds have the Gimp cubism filter and the sun is done in Krita. I think the just color version is the best, I hope you like it too!! ^^

The illustration of the "sardines" Is not 100% Verve Painter!! ^^; The white dots and the splashes are done in Gimp, but I think it's a really funny work and that also looks very well over the cat image, because he seems to be dreaming about them...

It absolutely does! Very sweet! And, wow, it's been quite a while since you've graced us with your beautiful works! WELCOME BACK!

By the way, to do things like those bubbles around the fishes, you could use brush images! Very quick, very easy and very powerful.

Yeah... It's been a long time Taron... I barely remembered my password!! (Joke) It was just one bad year after another... And this one seems the same...
Regarding your advice... I Must confess that I have never created a brush, because I have never needed it... I guess everyone enjoys this in their own way... But I'm very grateful for your comment, because it has made me imagine the new result and it's really powerful as you say!! Maybe it's the way for future works, but for this illustration I would like to keep the "double vision" between bubbles and stars, since in the photograph that I used as a reference for the lineart, the fishes were dead, with their mouths open, but when I was done with the color... They seemed alive again!! So I improvised a "Limbo" for them, something halfway between the vacuum of space (with stars) and their natural environment (with bubbles), simple white dots over a deep blue. I hope you can see it on this way too... Or maybe only I see it that way... ^^; (Another joke) Anyway... Thank you very much for the feedback again, my dear friend Taron, hugs!!

I love the colors and I am amazed how many tools your are incorporate into your workflow.

Thank you, you are very kind! I really like the GNU tools as Gimp or Krita, I try to use them as much as possible, but the best color works I've ever done has been with the help of Verve Painter, Verve allows me to truly express myself through color, I'm really grateful to this tool!
