Get Off Me update


You know the best part about having that gold armor painted up? ...that I'm going to have to re-paint it when I finally add in the light source. Hopefully, it won't be too much reworking at that point. 

(Dec 10 edit: The light has been painted and is shining on the characters! Adding it to the background soon.)

As I've said before, this is a newer version of "Get Off Me", which I painted with Clip Studio Paint in 2016. It's turned out to be a perfect image to put Painter 2021 through its paces. And it helps that I can go between programs to do little touches of everything, since they both save as .psd. (If it weren't for that, I would have been so much more afraid of Painter. XD)

What I like about Painter is that I love how well the brushes pick up from the colors underneath the layer I'm working on, and it also shows some of the brush strokes. It's also got a texture to the brushes that I can't quite get on CSP, as much as I love it.
To be fair, I've only played with the Acrylic paints so far. I don't know all that much about the Oils or other types of painting that Painter is able to mimic.

So, if you can find a decent price for Corel Painter, I would definitely recommend it at this point.

Recent Norux picture and Corel Painter review!

This is what I've finished last week--I'm half sure I posted this one on last week's post. XD I just wanted to toss out the references I used for the pose and hair in this.

Hair:  https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://tomandlorenzo.com/2016/08/jason-momoa-takes-part-in-a-climbing-contest-in-barcelona/jason-momoa-aquaman-climbing-contest-barcelona-tom-lorenzo-site-7/

When I find a suitable set of heads for Norux's pictures, I'll get to showing the expressions like I've probably mentioned before. XD Hopefully it will behave!

And then another thing has come into my life! I've been playing with Corel Painter, since it was gifted to me the other day! So far, I've really been enjoying it, especially how the paint brushes will behave like they would in the traditional means.

Here is a video review of the version I was given.

I would have to recommend this program if you have a chance!
