LOL, Myrid, hahaha… yeah, that somehow didn’t cross my mind! :smiley:

I’ve actually started making videos so I recorded this one:

Recording it slowed me down quite a bit, but it ain’t a race anyway…

Lovely and well executed sketch!

Also, thanks to the video, that software of yours grabbed my attention. Its a shame, I am a mac user. Otherwise I would give it a try.

#5

Thanks, Myrid, people were reporting that it runs fine under Wine. You might wonna give it a try! :arteest:

Nice video Taron, really enjoyable to watch. And that Verve starts to look really cool.
If that would be for windows 8 app I would definetly try it. I think you should really consider because you would open up it for many users with tablets and such (like me) but normal windows (w8) users could use it too…

Anyway… here is mine. Didnt really track the time again. Used reference of my own car, 1960 Cadillac Sedan Deville Flat top. General Motors made those Flattop models only in 1959 - 1960. Its kinda factory chopped, with lower roof than normal sedan. Really crazy and awsome era of car designing…

Thanks, Sazem, but I don’t understand what you mean by Windows 8 App? Why would it not run under windows 8? That would be terrifying indeed. Bad enough that are troubles with graphic cards other than Nvidia and that you need a fairly current generation system. But if Windows itself starts to sabotage software, developed under Window 7, well, then all bets were off… :banghead:

What did you use to make that painting, if I may ask?

Ooh, just remembered that I like doodling in pencil as well. It’s a bit cheap perhaps, but I think I might start doing that more for some of the themes. Definitely didn’t spend 45 minutes with this one, but I kind of like the graphical nature of it. Similar in idea to Myridiphis’, but I made a double hedge with the hairdo as well.

Could probably clean this up in digital and make a neat sticker design.

Taron: Yay, more videos! I’m excited to see the rendering executed in this one, so I’ll probably watch it later before I sleep.

Sazem: Very nice. The careful details in the front really catch the viewer’s attention and lifts the whole piece beyond a rough sketch. You also did a great job blending in the subtle rust. Background trees might have warranted a tiny bit more of a planned approach though, but hey. Can’t nail everything at once, right? :wink:

They kind of add a certain something though. Like they are so excessively sloppy in contrast to the car, they almost make a point of saying that “this is just a scribble! who cares!!”, and then the car stands out as being even more refined.

what I ment for windows 8 app was that windows 8 has two kinds of applications types. The Apps for tablets and the desktop apps for the desktops.

The desktop windows 8 can run both apps, but if you have example Windows Rt (the mobile / tablet version of windows) you can only run those Windows 8 apps (not desktops)…

Im currenlty using Surface pro 2 with with the real windows 8 (I could use photoshop etc with it, but its just too hard because the small monitor)… This tablet has the little brother wich run the windows RT (cant run the deskopt apps). With my Surface Pro 2 I can run both the apps / and the desktop versions… I havent really found any painting app that I like in the windows store. I am now painting with Clip studio Paint (exact same as Manga studio 5, but downloadable version) and its a desktop version (with tablet support).

Well, the reason I was thinking that you should go for the windows 8 app version is that then you could open whole new field for you.

If you want to be succesful in generally, I think you have to unique or better. And the last one is kinda hard to beat because we already have Photoshop, painter, manga studio etc etc… If you would developt for the app version, you can have people try it from both sides (desktop and tablets) and without the heavy competite of the desktop side. Also in future you might ask 5 euros from Verve? I think if you succees, you could easily make extra money? I think lots of people are just waking up for using tablets (not drawing tablets like wacom, but more like ipads and such) for painting.
Just my thoughts…

I bought Clip studio art (mange studio 5) because it has great tablet support. Ok, its a desktop app but still… the company understood how powerful these future tablets are for sketching so they changed the GUI so you can use it even with smaller screens and enabled the touche screen option (I can rotate, zoom, pan with my fingers). I would hope Adobe would follow with the CC version of the photoshop in the future but now its just too hard now.

Here is screenshot I took to demonstrate how I use my tablet example for making master copy. I divided the screen (left is windows 8 photo app, and right is the normal desktop)…

oh, and the painting was made with Clip Studio paint or Manga studio 5 or what ever the company wants to call it hehe…

and DrPetter, Its true the background isnt as good as it could be. I spend 98% time for making the car and I didnt want to make too much details on the background to get it stand up more… Main focus was the car. I think I Actually should have made it even less detailed (or atleast less contrasted). Anyway good note, thank you :slight_smile:

#11

Aha, thanks Sazem, see, I don’t know about these things, I don’t have a single gadget let alone tablet and haven’t cared for it, yet. But I see the appeal, of course. I wouldn’t mind exploring those things for sure! Thanks, man, I’ll look into it.
Have you tried running Verve, by the way?

#12

Nope not yet! but that video with your GUI got me interested actually. I promise to try out with my tablet the Verve and tell you how it worked out. Currently im going back to Finland tomorrow morning and I have lot of things to make. But after I get everything done I will try it out :slight_smile:

I am really bad user of these forums (I never find anything and before I added dailysketch part to bookmarks, it took me always about 5minutes to find hehe)… didnt you have a topic somewhere about Verve? I remembrer reading it through…
