Byron's ArtRage Explorations

[Carmen]

Hi Byron,
I have been away from ArtRage for a while, for multiple reasons.

Coming back pleases me so much, especially to see what you have/are doing.

What an explosion of colors, creations, combinations, 3D effect, etc.
Wow, wow, wow Things like these make me feel going back to paint
again. Congratulations Byron. Love and hugs, Carmen

Oriane: thanks a lot. I like the idea - so does my wife. If only....

Rob: that's great. I do hope you'll share your experience of the film. I should probably watch it again - it's been to long.

Sandy: thanks so much. It was a lot of fun - a good experience for me. Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts. Don't be a stranger - come back soon.

Carmen: Hey there, welcome back. I went back to refresh my memory of your paintings - all terrific works - fun reviewing them again. I'm glad you're back and hope you'll be posting more again soon. Thanks for your warm comments - much appreciated.

Thanks again all.

What is to become of this thread Byron? Hopefully all the threads in the pre-release section will be transferred somewhere safe. This thread needs it's own zip code! Killer stuff!

Hi Sketch, thanks again. I believe these threads will remain available, merged in some way with the general gallery. Whatever the plan, they won't disappear. I'm sure we'll be hearing from Dave when they're ready to work their administrative magic. I believe the context is "no worries".

And Eddie, thanks again for kicking around in here with all your good vibrations. I really appreciate it.

I'm uploading this AR3 drawing from my post at http://www2.ambientdesign.com/forums...ad.php?t=24195
to keep this AR3 thread complete. 100% AR3, pencil tool.

Here is a test design integrating two stickers I made and related brushes made with them, along with Ink Pen, pencil, tube paint, glitter, and palette knife.

100% AR3, no filters or blend modes.

Built in effects come into focus when blown up full screen and viewed at a distance. Hope you enjoy.

Hi All. I will continue to post my new AR3 paintings to this thread unless the poor thing just up and dies. Meanwhile, thanks everyone for all your visits, fun exchanges, and all around warmth and enthusiasm.

[ENCHANTER]

wonderful and colourful as always!

Byron did you get any problems at all with the pencil tool I seem to get a problem both in studio and pro, that building is drawn beautifully.
Sandyg.

Enchanter: Thanks much for your kind words.

Sandy: No, I've found the pencil in AR3 to be very responsive. Attached is a screenshot using each of the presets you see in the presets panel. Lots of variety there, and truthfully, with the various settings dials, and then add in color if you want, or different canvas textures, the possibilities seem near endless. Where does it seem to be breaking down for you? Let's go exploring. And thanks for the warm feedback on the drawing - much appreciated.
(If you blow the image up full size you'll see the strokes and the way the graphite is laid down much better. )
