DarkRegards' Suggestions
I figured it'd be better to just make a thread like this since I'm already getting a lot of ideas haha.
Ontop of the multi symmetry mode I suggested in my first thread here, I was thinking that adding in wind or fan tools would be pretty cool. I imagine it as there being a wind "element" that you place on the canvas, and there could be parameters that you edit that would control things like the speed of the wind, the radius of the wind, how many spots around the element should have a wind source etc. I think it would be really fun to draw a few pools of paint that are static liquid, then place some wind elements and see how they react. Perhaps have an option that makes paint liquid but that it only moves when pushed by the wind coming from a source element.
On the same sort of style, I think having a magnet source would be pretty cool, where you could place magnet elements on the canvas and you could set the parameters for how strongly it repels or attracts the paint. You could place some spots of paint on the corners of the canvas and have them attracted to the center and create some unique stuff that way.
I'm sure this one has be suggested before, but maybe having a hotkey that opens up a dialog window with all of the key combinations for the currently implemented features would be cool.
Having the ability to create your own brushes would be nice as well.
Saving to an external host would be really awesome as well, I know a few sites provide APIs that you could probably work with, like Imgur.
I figure this one might be a bit more complicated, but nonetheless it won't hurt to suggest it lol. If you were ever considering adding some sort of 3D functionality, it might be pretty interesting to have a way of "tilting" the canvas and then dropping bits of paint on the canvas and seeing how it reacts.
I think there is the potential to add a lot of unique features, since Verve is physically based. Something like a "color cannon" would be cool to see, where there are cannon elements that you load with a color, press a button and then have them shoot out the color onto the canvas. If you have two of the cannons pointed at each other, the resulting explosions could be awesome, especially if you can control the brush type and bristle type etc that they explode with.
Im sure this one is something you've thought of as well, but I think adding in the ability to save presets of settings you've tweaked in the interface for easy recreation would be super useful.
Anyways xD Before this gets too long I'll cut it off until my next post lol! I really love Verve! Keep up the awesome work and being awesome yourself!

...pinching and punching holes by with any brush type...all these things. Also using gravity by tilting the canvas around. All these things are ambitious, because they require potentially some more components to be regarded in the fluid dynamics routine, which will most certainly slow stuff down. Uh, Oh, Ah, particle effects, too, of course... (splatter, hair, branches, swirls...all that jazz!)
it'll be good times, I know it! 
...However, safe to say that I agree with and enjoy all your ideas!
