Experiment 131: Pig or The Ghost of Motivations Past

Created in Artrage 2.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Decided it was time to play around in Artrage again, it was a while since the last time I did that. And after some playing around this creature started to appear.

While on the topic of Artrage I've got to say that I'm really looking forward to the next version that's just been announced, sounds really interesting.

Experiment 121: Flow or control

Created using Photoshop CS4 Extended and Artrage 2.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Played around a bit in Photoshop with a pretty basic round paint brush and a bit more intricate smudge brush. Then over to Artrage for some pencil fun :-) Seems like this weeks trend.

Experiment 120: Purple flower

Created in Photoshop CS4 Extended and Artrage 2.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

After watching the latest video tutorial about custom brushes from Planet Photoshop I got inspired to play a bit with custom brushes and ended up with some interesting shapes. When I wanted to add some pencil strokes I had to use another program though. Perhaps it's possible to get a good simulation of an ordinary pencil in Photoshop too, but I don't know an easy way so instead I used Artrage (a really nice program for simulation of different kinds of natural paint, without having to clean any brushes etc ;-) ).

Experiment 111: Inner light

Created in Artrage 2.5.20 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Just playing around a little, I liked it enough to keep it though and thought I'd "show it to the world" here. There's something about these kind of caves with light in the end of the tunnel :-) I'll not be surprised if I'll make more on that theme.

Day 71: Cars fishing 1 (This weeks theme)

Created in Artrage 2.5 (with a small sketch done in Inkscape first) using a Wacom Intuos 3

A car fishing. :)

If you think that the themes get worse by each week, then I suggest that you contact me and say what you want next weeks theme to be ;) (You can do that even if you like these themes of course.)

Day 56: Svalbard

Created in Artrage 2.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

Something relatively abstract made in a late hour, so don't expect the title to make sense :)

Day nineteen: Old crab bot

Created in Artrage 2.5.19 using a Wacom Intuos 3


He's not necessarily old in that sense, it's more that I was aiming for an "old" style. You know the way people thought robots would look like in the 50s-60s or so.
