Upgrade ::schwing::

It is kind of disconcerting that Painter 9's logo is a hand with like 9 fingers. What was wrong with the good 'ol paintbrush? Now all of my Painter files are extraneous-finger-handed.

But aside from that, yeah, there are some relatively small but very nice changes, like the ability to paint along a path. Yes! I've been trying to do that ever since I discovered paths in Photoshop! And a "digital watercolor" brush set that I might actually use, unlike the regular watercolors which are too much like real watercolors for me to handle. ^^;; And Photoshop-style layer masks, which will save me some "Preserve Transparency" grief. And a real palette! Which I will probably never use, but is a very nifty feature!

It doesn't make me paint better. But it makes me feel like I do. <g>

Anyways, you care. Here's something a tad more care-worthy. Now it looks like I'm all finished BUT I'M NOT. You'll see. YOU'LL ALL SEE. JUST YOU WAIT

Haha, I couldn't even tell what the Painter 9 thing was when I first saw it. "What's that star blobbie thing?" ^^;; I thought they'd been doing that all along. Good (?) to know they've only recently started being stupid. :P

Neat ice background. The lighting doesn't seem to match, though. Also, my brain keeps nagging me that there is something fluid mechanically wrong with the water on the right, but damned if I know more than that. Maybe just that the stream should get thinner because the velocity is increasing.

Aaaagh, fluid mechanics! Gonna be taking that next quarter! ::runs away::

...

::runs back:: I'll see what I can do about the water, but the lighting is gonna be kind of... stuck that way. Will try to emphasize a foreground light source slightly more.

::runs more away::

Why do you need to take fluid mechanics?
