Thanks again guys.
Pai - the finish to that studio one is with my stuff in the gallery section. Thought it made more sense to put it there.

Meanwhile here is a bit of progress on the witchy one.

OH
MY
HAT!!!!

...if those last 2 pics you posted are a promice of whats to come in AR then I am over excited.
That watercolor portrait is sublime Nick, actually you are one of those artists that never cease to amaze and inspire me. Shucks, I'm wishing for a watercolor tutrial from you one fine day...

All your work is masterful dear Nick, you are a great talent!!!

P.S: does the watercolor also make more grainy type washes? - she adds winsomely...

Gee Rowena,
Many thanks. Really kind comments.

Version 3 is a long way from finalised and there's a lot of to'ing and fro'ing going on based on feedback from the test group.
The watercolour is causing a lot of excitement and rightly so, but there's some serious tinkering to be done yet. Even if I was allowed to say any more, which I'm not of course, I couldn't give you a definitive answer about what it will and won't be able to do yet. We just don't know.

However it ends up, be assured that the wonderful 'Rage' team will be delivering a great new tool capable of some outstanding results - but more importantly, it'll be a joy to use.

Better yet, it won't be alone . . . . . .
