Corel Painter 10
Just bought the new Corel Painter 10. Yes, BOUGHT.
There’s no major new features in it but alot of the stuff has been tweaked. Spent all day Sunday dicking around with it between dipping in and out of Call of Duty online.
Spent way too long on this piece but it was worth it because I learned so much. I could do it in a hour now if I had to do it again. Loads of sloppy amateur mistakes in it but good for my first proper stab at digital painting. I gave up on it before doing the wings and the gun but I’ll definitely finish it. Hi res version here
This vulture dude is part of a comic about dueling robots that I’ve been working on for around 6,000 years. If I can crack the painting skills I’ll be pitching it to 2000AD. I just finished up the roughs for 2 new Twisted Tales and one of them, The Apartment, is my best yet.
And here’s another. All naked rat moles should be killed by mini drones for my amusment.
UPDATE: The Vulture pic inspired my da Papa Peanuts to add a glowing green light to his mouth with his top class photoshop skills. Nutty old fokk.
