I'm very excited to have found something that is both exciting to me and could also come in handy with my work on Xenocell. It's finger-painting! Unless our lead artist, Kevin Turchik says otherwise, some of these could even make it into the game as (fake, alas) concept art. :)
My friend, Danila Laurentiu (a.k.a Apparatus) shared a painting of his on Facebook wall depicting Captain Nemo. He's very very talented and does both traditional and digital painting. It was him who brought an iPad app called "procreate" to my attention which he used to paint his portrait with. Of course I am a mere noob when it comes to painting, but I got the app anyway, and decided to give it a try. In the end I realized that it was not the final picture that gave me satisfaction, but the process of painting itself.
