With verve into the light

Thank you Lemi.
Hahaha, I was sure you would love those experiments, borhani. Thank you.
I think, I need a 4K Monitor for the huge ones. They really look amazing spreaded on two 1920x1200 monitors:D

While those experiments in painting quick very big pictures, I had an idea.
I really, really love pure pencil sketches. I am really, really lazy in doing this billions of strokes to make a filled pcture.
What if using brush #9 with just around 20% bristles and only opacity on pressure, size off?

This is the result. Half size 50% JPG No reference ~1h - 1.5h work

I love verve!!!

I was so pleased with the look that I overworked him a bit.
I searched for some more volume and lights (doing this egg basics, taron )
Couldn't get warp running in verve but for these fine strokes photoshop was a better tool anyway.
I used liquify to correct proportions. I totally forgot to use F6 to flip the picture while I was painting in verve.
There was some correction needed!! And I liked the flipped version more
Liquify helped me to add some personality too
That's the result:

That is VERY cool, Knacki!
...and, no, I don't think you've overworked him! You brought much better balance to him now!

The fur man!

No reference? Wow, great result, Knacki!

I like your journey into the high rez realm, wow K !

Thank you so much!
A tiny one. Got to do other things now.
A bit PS for colour & vignette.

(Looks like I got to overwork the blanket in her hand - which is looking like a sabre...a desert Nudelholz eh rolling pin , or I rename it to "End of a desert love... )

All I can say is stunning!

Yeah, it has such a pretty depth in all dimensions, hehe, including storytelling! Great job!

Thanks again guys.

Aaaaaaaargh, why are those things happening when one just started in 1280x720 for quick fun?

This is the freakiest setting I found so far in verve. Drawing with ADD over an DARK layer makes an x-ray effects, erasing canvas structure.
This is so awesome, I have no words to describe what's happening while you are painting.
