openCanvas 6 is out today, people! And to celebrate its release, I made this fantasy illustration a couple months ago as a testament to what I can paint with it. The girl in the corner is openCanvas' mascot oC-tan, and you can also see Portalgraphics' mascots Potako and Eyebrows Rabbit on the right edge. Most of the illustrations featured are my own, and this is a rare case of me painting a pic with no outlines whatsoever. I want to give a shoutout to Japanese artists Dome and So for their inspiration.

Some of you may be wondering, "Glitch, why the heck did you make a pic of a painting program of all things?!" Well, the original idea came from Sonic fan artist, Orin. Waaaay back in 2003, she posted a pic on teamArtail demonstrating her love for deviantArt. Back then, I thought it was funny that someone would make fan art of their favourite website, so I wanted to channel her enthusiasm by dedicating this piece to my favourite painting program. It's been instrumental in my artistic development for the past six years, and all my painting playbacks you see in my submission descriptions were made with it.

For existing openCanvas users, you might want to check out some of the new features, including:
Brush scattering - This works similar to the scattering function in Photoshop. Ideal for painting with texture brushes without creating repeating patterns. Textures can also follow the direction of the stroke. (The setting for this is really obscure. You need to right-click a brush and select "Edit Brush". It should be in the "Stroke Option" tab.)

Layer masks - A long overdue addition to openCanvas. Great for creating non-destructive edits to layers.

Stroke interpolation - This actually exists in the previous version, but it was really slow and awkward to use. Fortunately, it's been improved immensely and now acts like SAI's brush stabilizer.

Native 64-bit support - Says it all, really.

So that covers it! If you haven't tried out openCanvas yet, now's your chance to download the latest version . Be sure to scroll down to check the change log for more information on new features (including a few things that have sadly been removed).

Also, this painting is available for print! If you like what you see, you can order a copy now! =========>>>>>>
