My previous post was about an artist who goes by Floex for his personal compilations, and Tomas Dvorak for his soundtrack work. In researching his other work, I came across a puzzle-adventure game called Machinarium (try the free demo here), for which he did the soundtrack.


Love. Love everything about it. For so many reasons. Concept, aesthetic, music, intrigue, cuteness, robots. Love.

I did my friend’s portrait for her birthday.

A better likeness would be if she was smiling, but it’s a lot to ask of someone to hold a frozen smile for 20 minutes while they’re being drawn.

It’s a Wacom Intuos 4.
Zomg. Best. Present. Ever.
I’ve been using the tablet in Corel Painter 11, which has opened up a world of infinite artistic possibilities. I’ve also, consequently, lost all desire to ever paint realism again with real media – the results using Painter to convert photos to paintings are too good.

Messin' around with new tablet using Corel Painter 11.

More random tablet-messin'.

The result of converting a photo I took at Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, to an "oil painting" using Corel Painter 11 + tablet.

The result of converting a photo of me in Waikiki to a "watercolour painting". In addition to being able to select brush type and medium from a wide variety, in Painter you can also select paper type (i.e., watercolour paper). It still looks too photo-like, but I also did a rush job. Corel Painter will emulate wet and dry paint characteristics, brush angle, and smudging/blending/mixing of media. Tres bon!!
