Thought I'd share some of my recent art before doing future artwork with Gimp. I've used Gimp for art before, and I've got a whole folder of Gimp artwork, but they are on a broken computer, and it will be too much of a pain retrieving the files right now.

None of these where created with Gimp, but I always do post-processing with Gimp on all my art. These are also all resized, and nowhere near the original size.

These where done with Mypaint. A year and a half ago I settled with a portable Linux OS of choice, it was one application short of perfection, and that application happened to be my primary digital painting application of choice - Mypaint. So I had to resort to a very crude workaround using Wine, which allows some Windows software to run under Linux. The major downside of using Mypaint under Wine was that pressure sensitivity did not work, so I had to work under those constraints. That's why I don't consider these as good as they could have been:

Luckily, as of last week, I finally managed to install Mypaint natively on my OS, thanks to someone making a package for it.

This was done with an painting application called Azpainter. However, I personally find the brush system a bit too laggy when using custom brushes. This is notable for using the finger paint G'MiC filter with post-processing:

I was experimenting with the making purely digital art look traditional, and that filter gave off the best effect.

Last but not least my current WIP. I've been working on this on and off since last October. This is being made with the free version of Artrage:

Despite your difficulties, these are really extremely good. You've got a lot of talent and I hope that in the future you can share some work created under more ideal circumstances.

Wow, it is very easy to tell that you have a lot of talent. Your paintings are very beautiful. That Coke bottle looks so real that you can almost taste it.
Thanks for sharing David-C

Thanks all. The next set will be Gimp 2.8 paintings. I've still to give the new brush engine a fair go.
