With verve into the light

I stand all amazed!
The landscape are vast and seem to pull you in.
I love the cactus and it's lighting.

Thanks MIke,

Drawing backilit scenes is pure fun with this.
Just duplicate a layer of hairs and play around with layer settings and eraser.

I made a pic for mischief challenge February:

It's about AI and future living together.
I colourized it in verve now.

Very neat! My next version has much, much cleaner and easier sketching, too, by the way!
GOOD LUCK with the challenge, of course!

Thank you taron.
MIschief has a nice pencil look and a nice ink look, but that's not what I am after.
Photoshop or krita or art rage or wtf else is up there, would do this much better.
I think with a bit patience one could create a nice pencil in verve too. I guess I've already seen some nice versions here.

.....some minutes later......

Download attachment for verve preset. It's a bit smudgy but already nice. More artistic

Mischief is all about the unlimited canvas & (almost) resolution.
Just start somewhere and don't think about borders or resolution.
This is a perfect match for my, sometimes, chaotic starts without knowing what I will end with.
Cut & transform selections in a very basic way is nice to have, but my love warp is missing. Unlimmited undo is top.

Mischief is a brilliant companion for i.e. quickposes. Just draw and scroll and draw and scroll for ages.


EDIT:
The challenge is over. I didn't expect to win with a simple sketch, but it was a nice theme.
"The magic of books" is March theme.
Lovely.

Hey! I thought I recognized a little Mischief in there.

Haha, yes well I used Mischief quite a lot for quickposes last weeks.
Unbeatable for this quick 60 second sessions, with no break between each picture

Today I explored a bit of verve's limits again.
Stavros had a request in here:

Even though my computer is not the youngest anymore, it has some neat components.
Anyway GBoGBo made something, where I always gave up. I think that could lead even slower machines to new dimensions.
If you redefine your resolution and a black canvas is shown, try to fill it with CTRL+SHIFT+F.
If this works, it's a good sign
Check the HQ button on top right corner. If that also works...another good sign.
Now try to save a PNG file BEFORE you start to work, works? Gooood.
Now try to save a vrv project. Works also? Congrats! Now you are ready to start working in highest resolution.

I was able to go up to 4701x3111 in HQ with four layers (maybe there are some more pixel possible )
This is the reduced pic:

Cooooool
Photoshop says 165cmx110cm

Be aware!!!!
This is far beyond recommended size. Do it on your own risk.
I couldn't reopen the project. -> Black.
GBoGBo's trick in pressing p after selecting white was not working.
I could reopen the PNG though, but not activate HQ -> Black

Anyway. It was fun and the gift a nice verve picture.

Correction GBoGBo's trick was pressing p with white selected

This is fun!!
Original is 4990x2929px

HQ was not possible, slightly despeckle in photoshop to remove white spots.
Compressed down from 42MB PNG to 3,8MB JPG

Stairs in some brush strokes are not caused by resolution. I made pretty fast moves?!

Wow. Very nice result, Knacki! Something like a view through hair from the head. In case the head is not bald

Your result reminds me that I have to create a new abstract in Verve again!
