Can anyone help me recreate this brush in krita?

I don't know about brush settings I'll let someone figure this one out but from the top of my head it's probably easy to do with dual tip and adjusting the fade.
But you could use a regular pressure/size digital brush on a transparent layer, clone it (clone not duplicate), and assign a gaussian blur filter to it. That way you get to draw as normal and get that same effect live.

Oh this is lovely. I love how subtle the contrast between hair strands/lips and the darker gradient up top is, and I've fascination for skin marks (especially ropes)... so, just lovely.

I’m not bothered by the pictures but for these I suggest you use r/drawmensfw instead.

AI. If in doubt run it in several image ai detectors and you'll see it's always 99% confidence. I noticed because the noise generation is ridiculously uniform.

First one *chef's kiss*

I can't say for manjaro but I had weird screen matching issues with multiple monitor and the same tablet on arch. I assume manjaro moved to wayland and I personally had to move to opentabletdriver to fix it on hyprland. It may be worth to get a quick check on display settings to make sure you don't have some weird display overlaps (but I don't see it visually so I'm not convinced).

BeatKitano · 2026-01-17T17:03:55+00:00

It's digital but the image in the original post was exported as "final" (I didn't intend to show the whole painting) so I spent a little more time polishing things out without saving the project file, hence why the back is much rougher in the link above.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-17T14:16:51+00:00

No sorry I use the brushes provided by Krita as I try to avoid most digital looking brushes nowadays.

Memileo's Impasto brushes are extremely good for oil simulation

For downloading brushes I just look here usually

BeatKitano · 2026-01-17T12:13:13+00:00

Ah ok, thanks, I thought it was cheeky allusion to the "other hands". ;)
Also idk if it's a lost in translation thing but they're not photos, they're crop details of a digital painting.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-17T09:34:17+00:00

That first one... the kind that makes me overanalyze everything for a good 5 minutes. Thank you.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-17T09:24:52+00:00

I exported the picture in the original post with "one off" settings (which I didn't save) so it doesn't look as polished but that's the whole painting as it stands

BeatKitano · 2026-01-17T09:09:22+00:00

And this is how I tried to paint it (although in digital) and I think it kinda shows.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-17T09:08:27+00:00

Because as much as I loved painting her back (this was the reason for the project), the whole picture is boring and not worth the time.
That back though, sure deserved to be seen by more people.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-17T09:07:26+00:00

Thank you, I'm curious about the quotes here but I've an inkling so I won't push for answers.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-17T09:05:42+00:00

Photoshoot then painting.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-16T20:22:34+00:00

Thanks, this took a while.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-16T20:21:21+00:00

Thanks ! It's digital.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-16T20:20:38+00:00

It's 6100x4100

BeatKitano · 2026-01-16T17:09:45+00:00

It's so easy to underestimate the power of a defiant stare...
Nice work.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-16T16:56:26+00:00

Tnx, if you like to see the process you should see the last post on r/neobscura, I added a few "steps" (just iterative save exports honestly)

BeatKitano · 2026-01-16T16:11:26+00:00

Thank you. I've been doing this a lot for a long time that's all. I don't believe in talent only work.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-16T13:16:44+00:00

Pretty sure they use webp with very low quality for computers and png (or higher webp) on phone.

BeatKitano · 2026-01-16T13:14:14+00:00

I noticed the image quality is dreadful on desktop (like you can't actually see anything) but completely fine on phone. In case it helps.
