if you hold alt and rclick inside the brush editor you can make a thin (long or short) brush. holding ctrl and r rclick will let you angle the brush. setting the spacing tool slider 'C:' to about 1/3 in creates the 'lines'. using jtablet opacity sensitivity with blend checked gives the stutter gradient color effect.

That's quite smart, I knew those features, but never thought of combining them in such a way.

well i do like the blue , sure pops out like when kettles pop in the microwave :D

Wimbledon mens final? :p

Well, y'all don't know this ,maybe ,but smelt is a species of fish that I used to go fishing for with my father.

Who's looking at the head?

Us straight girls, it's a bit annoying to see this flat face, after seeing how great he made the thigh in only 8 mins..

OK, OK...geez... I'll go back and see what I can do for her face.

You did a GREAT job with the 'technique' on this one!! :o)

Fuck, I knew I should have low balled him starting at $20.

I like Staci's idea, something more like Daily Deviations would be cool. The whole 'like and dislike button system' seems like it would be counterproductive because it allows people to judge anonymously and without explanation, making the showcase purely a popularity contest (opposed to a place to display the sites more skillful or innovative or interesting digital art). And yes, judging things like this would be subjective but could be relatively objective if there was some loose criteria to be met that we all agreed on (I mean, don't most prominent and respected award systems work in such a way?).

Thinking about it now I think there are pretty solid reasons a lot of pieces were showcases like this one. There was a collective evolution of skill as 2draw developed from when I joined in 2004. There seemed to be a point where the bar was raised weekly for a few years and then we got to now where it has kind of gone stagnant. We are left to look at the current content as a whole and maybe a lot doesn't fit, but when it was showcased it was amazing, inspiring, or whatever at the time it as created.

It's gorgeous

Beautiful, what can I say.

I could say at least ten different things.
