I’ve been getting to grips with Artrage 5 recently and can’t praise it highly enough.
It has the ability to mimic oil painting very realistically. I’m using a Wacom Intuos Pen CTL-480 Graphic Tablet and to paint the rigging on my unfinished example I used a plastic ruler laid on top of the graphic tablet. I had to undo quite a few times before I got the angles correct, but with patience it’s easy enough to paint very fine lines using the graphic tablet.
Artrage 5 looks at first to be a simple program, but there is a lot more to it once you realise different effects can be achieved by playing with the settings.
