I’ll send you an email with the tool settings. It’s a modified pencil tool with a polygon shape and direction set to random!

I’m curious how you made “watercolor” tools in Manga Studio; in Painter, of course, they come pre-loaded, and you can tweak and make your own. Manga Studio, though, is a beast of a different color. Heck, it’s not even supposed to even “do” color, in the sense that Photoshop or Painter, can, anyway.

It goes to show how a tool’s limits can be stretched by an inventive user.

IT’S LIKE YOU’RE READING MY MIND. I was like “hey, he’s George Lucas-ing,” and then you said it yourself. I was like “I think he needs a pseudonym,” and then, well, you know.

If you go with pseudonym, I’d say make it woman. Watercolor is, for some reason, associated with women, and the really GOOD watercolor I can think of (Lynn Varley? I don’t think that’s the right name, but I’m thinking of Frank Miler’s wife) has a sort of bad-ass manliness to it. Which, of course, you’d be lending it, acuz of being a man. Frannie Rayden?

The watercolory-bits were a neat diversion. I did about four of them and posted the results to my Flickr page.

I dig the watercolory stuff! (not that I don’t also dig the default style)

For a pseudonym, maybe try something like PenguinX ?
