Re: With verve into the light

I know what you mean, it's not dissimilar to my first ArtRage experiences. Once you calm down and actually work with it carefully and deliberately, it shows its true powers! It just takes a moment to recognize more of its potential.
I mostly actually paint completely dry or with only a tiny bit of fluidity. Blending I vary between smudge and average, depending on what feels more important. In the beginning it's mostly just smudging, but later for some more controlled blending, average is easier. However, from there on, you can always go out into crazy land very easily and do wild strokes for backgrounds or certain places, even play with fluidity where it might serve you well.
You can actually go all the back to a PS style brush with #1, too, control the feathering of it with the bias...and since I've added the image brush, there's almost no limit anymore to what style you want to pursue on the fly.

Re: With verve into the light

Hahaha, 6 month nothing and now three pics in a row.

What I miss last is PS brush engine and specially this Brush#1 style stuff.
Ok. A propper scattering feature would be a thing I pretty much miss sometimes.
Learned yesterday about the "behind" brush blend mode.
Cool feature, specially for verve with it's layer and size limit, as it can save extra layers.
Photoshop in fact is so big, that there is a decent software even for painting in it, but hide by billion tons of code and always a big waste of hardware resources..

But quickly painting a selection and move things around is really essential. I miss that really hardly in verve.

Anyway - a pure verve only - metal practise (without playing with metal layer options ;) ) painted from picture reference. Fun and the image brush came in very handy ;)

Btw. I used Kuadro for reference.

What a wonderful and clever piece of software, and free!
Meanwhile you can even assign web links instead of having all pics on your HD and save your sets.
Arrange like you want, even over verve UI. Just select "always on top" and you have a reference image feature inside verve, like in ART Rage.
Just don't forget not to click when picking colours, as jumping back to verve mostly ends in one unwanted stroke.

Re: With verve into the light

Aaah, haha, I did something similar to this last year at some point...it's great practice! Good job! You should always try to incorporate some of the background to make sure the context remains clear. It really helps to judge, if the metal really works.

Got to stop this.
Falling back into old "lets the program do the job" mood.

Re: With verve into the light

It's such a comfortable state to be in, though, haha... and you certainly are suggesting Verve to do some very nice things! Pollock might've raised an eyebrow, seeing these possibilities! c:!

Hell, that was fun to do! Started with the metal preset again.
Almost more sculpting than painting.
