Art - via the Computer
I was looking up Corel's Painter, Photopaint and Wacom's Intuos Tablet, and came across some amazing art. Just a bit of background -- I've used all three of the tools before to create my own digital art, or to take something I created on paper, and take it to another level with the computer. Corel Painter used to be owned by a now defunct company called Fractal -- I've been using Painter since version 2.0. It's an amazing piece of software -- gives you a complete set of artist tools in a single application. Photopaint is like Photoshop. It started out being a photo manipulation tool, and slowly evolved to become more than that. The artsy types still prefer Photoshop -- only because it runs on a Mac, but I know Photopaint, so my preference remains there. Now check out some art created with the tools listed above:
LiQUidWerX - amazing art! Some fantasy, some nudity!
Portrait Artist - a site offering advice on how to draw, including a section on digital art.
CGChallenge - a site that documents artists using computers and a whole lot of software!
Mental Image - an artist using computers to create 2D as well as 3D works.
