Yeah, the Abstract5 with the ochre block looks like a toxic seascape!
...yet, beautiful!
Well, thank you very, very much, Stavros! That's the curious thing about Verve and about so much more. People can't help but judge against their expectations. When there's a digital paint app, they will look for familiarity sooner than later, no matter how different it comes along. They should look at what they get as what it is and allow themselves to discover new possibilities, but first they always need orientation. Verve is a little ignorant about that as it is, so I need to take it to a point where it satisfies fundamental expectations first or somehow turn it into something so unconventional, that people wouldn't begin to compare. But I prefer to provide orientation, because I want it to be what digital painting should be, you know.
Loads and loads of work ahead.
Your kind of encouragement is a REAL BIG help and gives that all important joy that makes all of this possible and that which is to come!
Small explanation on the squares that have their textures move while outlines seem to stay: The fluids are somewhat natural that way, as is the canvas. You need a certain amount of material before the fluids get to move it around. If you were to fill the canvas, you'd see the outlines of the squares melt, too, but if you went onto an empty canvas, outlines will stay firm as long as they are on a dry canvas.

...but somehow I'm almost more excited about how it turned out now. Maybe I will try to figure out some sort of reliable seeding procedure...hmmm.
