Oh, very YAY! That collage came together, beautifully! :o
The 2nd one has such a strong strong attraction to me. :shock:
And boy, the 4th, dark blue one is ever so intense, Nr.12 just as well.

Though, really, the harmonic composition makes this! Absolutely wonderful! :D

Only, Nr.8 does fall out a little bit? Maybe it's just not the right one for the pole position, though?
Also since each individual has such a unique character ... Nr.9 and Nr.17 are a bit too similar? ... They both are so beautiful, though ... i wouldn't be able to pick a favorite out of the two, either :lol:

Anyway, truly amazing! Thanks for sharing :D

Note: I cheated and used the Lasso tool to help reposition facial features, otherwise all done in Verve.

I find myself "warping" quite a bit inside of Verve. When you do it early on, you won't have to be afraid to lose definition. But even later on it actually hold up quite nicely.
However, all that stuff has to go into Verve eventually, too. And it will! ;)

VERY COOL! Love the fell of the canvas, too! Looks like you've used a lot of brush #2 or #3 for the black lines in the hair, which I find curious, because brush #9 is like predestined to be used for this sort of thing. YET, it looks freaking great and supports a very specific style that I find very enjoyable! Great job! :D

Thanks Knacki. :)

Taron, I haven't payed with the warp feature yet - I'll definitely try it out. FYI, I didn't use brush 9 because it doesn't have a control for bristle size (or does it?!?!).

Verve has inspired me to draw more regularly. I am very thankful! :D

Eh, currently brush 9 is really good for drawing. Just keep the brush size small, use it as pencil or fine liner. Also, it acts very differently than the other brushes, especially now! Give it a try! ;)
