Wow! Long time since I have heard someone mention Cross-polarisation with rocks..I used to have to draw these images with an isograph...

Indeed! But argh I misspelled the word - I meant: haitian art

Fortunately. Then I discovered 'Tiki art' too.

 

I see what you mean..equally impressive (I liked the 'tiki' art)...and I learnt a new word....still thanks for the insight

This is so cool. I wish I did illustration work sometimes. That outline view looks intense!! 

Thank you!.Outlines always look more complicated than they are...check out the background...But it's just a repeating stack of elements with an secondary overlay...

A little tip - don’t know why I am suggesting this exactly -  try a google image search for hawaitian art.

Maybe inspiration? 

 

Just had a look ...absolutely...I like the 'Tiki art'

I just couldn’t figure out how they work. Not important - it is just me. Agreed, Real feet and hands would not work.

If you made other dressings with textures I would love to see them. 

Thansk for the interest...Well they are all over the forum..been posting for 2 years! ...worn out the Wacom almost!....Erm There must be over '100' somewhere  on the forum but they are not all vector based..This is the biggest one (Poison) but if you are into monsters...(Monster Club) and all vector ..(inktober 2017) [still not finished ]

The hands and feet don't make much sense to me (I always had serious trouble drawing hands and feet, so I know how hard it is though) but the textures on the creature are great. The discreet background works very well with the main motive. 

Well done

Thanks for your feedback on the hands and feet...didn't see the point of drawing real hands/feet on a monster...but having watched Godzilla over the weekend aim not sure they are large enough for a real monster!..not really a fan of polished smooth vectors!....

Niiiice! Loving the striking colours, textures and effects you used to put this cute wee monster together. Great stuff!

Thanks George...much appreciated. definitively a fan of 'texture and effects' whether vector or raster....The background was a bit of a pain...just could not decide on the colour..!

[[1.7.0.367:RC2] Issue with brush tool and symmetry options]

Hi,

Just been doing some sketching using the symmetry tool in pixel persona..but I noticed there is a change in how the brush functions if you change the settings of the symmetry tool.

1. Create new page
2. Access Pixel Persona
3. Select Paint Brush Tool [select a brush]: used custom brushes but also works on basic set
4.Activate 'Symmetry' on Context menu (set value to 1);Check Mirror
5. Rotate to vertical and Lock
6. Draw something;should be OK!.. BUT...
7. Uncheck Mirror leaving Symmetry active and draw again..the brush starts to show significant lag and can get a bit uncontrollable!...

Added Wireframe (creature only).
Background also vector but is a bit messy!

[A little monster selfy....]

and a rest from brushes....

[Intermittent issues with drawing tools [Pen+Pencil]]

Took me a while to find this thread....and mentioned several times in forum..
initially found a way of getting around it by accessing Pen settings...but also noticed that updating to latest Driver update (6.3.34-3) seems to fix the issue. has not re-occurred since updating (hopefully gone...!)
 

The problem is mentioned in the release notes 

'We fixed the problem where straight lines were being drawn preceding the start of a curved stroke when drawing quickly.' [2725]
