Description
Miniature Jack 1: Ten years is a long time, mate.Jack Sparrow: Even longer, given the deficit of rum.
Miniature Jack 1: ...But eternity is longer still.
Miniature Jack 2: And how'll you be spending it? Dead?
Miniature Jack 1: ...Or not... The Immortal Captain Jack Sparrow.
Jack Sparrow: Ooh, I like that.
Miniature Jack 2: Come sunset and it won't matter.
Jack Sparrow: ... Not sunset... Sundown! And Rise... Up!
- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Tried out the art program ArtRage, which emulates traditional painting in various different ways.
I had in mind the green flash when a soul is brought back from the dead in Pirates of the Caribbean. I didn't do it the exact same way though, as in the movie it's more a faint flash than a huge shockwave.
[ 2-3 hours ][ ArtRage + Photoshop CS5 ][1378×900 px][ Genius G-Pen M712X ][ Hanz Zimmer - He's a Pirate ]
I am not here to shamelessly promote my art, I'm here to get better. So if you have anything to say, please leave a critique so that I can continue growing as an artist~

It really does look like a traditional painting. Does ArtRage have free trials?

Yes, the full program for one month is available for download, but they also have a free version of the program that has many of the same features I used the trial for painting this, but the standard program is really as good as I need

I love the colours blending, and the gorgeous choice of colours at that. Beautifully done.

Wow nice! It really looks traditional.
By the way..I was thinking about buying the same tablet as you used here. How good is it?

Thank you~ I would not recommend it, it may work well for some, but for me it wasn't as good as it seemed: Good functionality, no tilt pressure but it's not needed.
Half the price of a Wacom for double the drawing space.
38 macro keys you have to click (can't hold) with the pen itself. I don't think they can do commands, so you have to set them to hotkeys that you can do on you keyboard too. I've disabled them, as they're just in the way.
Photoshop CS5 has small dyfunctions, and in CS6 the tablet is unusable (may be my PC).
Lack of service: I have no pen nibs now, the one I use is worn out. They have no way of contacting, and the only way of getting one is e-bay, but they only ship the the UK.
The pen is plain and not too comfortable, without an eraser at the end.
So if you want to save money and have a decent tablet, it's good (as long as you don't une CS6), but if you're serious and want something that lasts, you will have to prepare for a trip to the UK
I am wondering if I should buy a new one, but it is quite costly if I want a Wacom
TL;DR: read the black. Hope it helped and wasn't too long! ^^

Oh c'mon, just today I was talking about getting PSCS6
I'm working with a slightly used up tip too and I have no idea where to get a new one...because the brand of the tablet is..well..kind of unknown.
I'll just have to gather those 200€ and buy a Wacom bamboo fun M...it sounds like a good investment.
Thank you very much for your extensive reply, it made my decision much easier.

the green flash is real. It happens when the sun does down and is rare.
Really lovely piece, love all the colors.

I had no idea! I thought it was based on a real phenomena the first time I watched the movie, but they're so full of fantasy, so I didn't think too much about it afterwards Thanks a lot! ^^
