absolutely STUNNING. I will now pick up my jaw and go home.

We'll be reviewing the suggestions forum again. Make sure all your hopes and dreams are there!
However if artists can get the quality of work that marcotronic has in his painting, do we really need to add anything more?

It's the "if artists..." part that screwed you! Now you have to add more features for those of us not yet at marcotronic's level.

And if that argument doesn't do it for you, then how about:

Just think of what macrotronic could do if more features *were* there!

:lol: You are all absolutely crazy, folks! I love that and I really enjoy this forum!

Thanks again for your kind words - I really appreciate them.

marcotronic, you have the chief's ear.

So AndyRage, please, could we have brushes pre-made or even customizable. . .sable, bristle, badger. . .lovely brushes. . .even crummy camel hair ones where the hairs come out and get stuck in your painting. . .and you have to make a mess of your picture trying to dig them out. . .brushes that are good for painting to the right. . . to the left. . .brushes that can do grunge. . .toothbrushes for spattering. . .sumi brushes that create parallel though uneven streaks. . .feathering brushes. . .fan brushes for fur. . .it'll be bliss. . .

I don´t want to request them till I'm blue in the face (like a well-known person in this forum...) :lol:

Yes, joking aside, I really do think, too, that those brushes mentioned would be simply awesome and a huge asset for the application.

Excellent work! Astonishing! I'm with You "begging" for various brushes types! I wish also that coulours mix as natural one (yellow+blue=green), but I'm afraid this might conflict with how screen (RBG) produces colours.
Finally, didi You use any reference image(s) to tune so nicely composition and colours?

[marcotronic]

Thanks, Caesar! Glad you like it.

To answer your question - Yes, as mentioned in the initial posting I used an own photo I took during our last Thailand holidays as reference (No tracing, though). My main ambition is being able to paint something comparable without reference(s) one day.

Your mouth to Andy's ear.
