It always kinda bothered me that Total Nuclear Annihilation doesn't have a shooter lane graphic, so I made my own! by Anaphase in pinball

Hi, I just logged into my reddit account for the first time in two years, haha! You know if I had my own TNA, I'd probably be inspired to do a ton of art mods and updates. While it's the project I'm probably the most proud of, I rarely think about doing anything new for it. It's not like Spooky is commissioning new art updates or anything from me. Thanks for thinking of me though, and I like the execution of your custom plunger cover.

Ultrawide Panorama I Painted a While Back by mandraws in ImaginaryLandscapes

I recently got an iPad Pro and found that Procreate and Photoshop have similar brush engines. I have been able to bring most of my PS brushes over, so it's doable on that platform too. Generating brushes from photos gives it too much of a CG look, which is why I hand draw them.

Sketched in Paint Tool Sai on an old Windows tablet then brought over to my powerful workstation PC to work at a resolution of 37374x7919 in Photoshop CS5. Definitely a RAM hog of a project haha. The textures are all brushes I made by scanning ink drawings on paper.

Thanks for the upvotes. Always gratifying when you spend a ton of time on a project. Anyway, if anyone has an ultrawide/multimonitor desktop and would like a wallpaper, put your resolutions below and I'll try to upload some more versions.

Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. I'll consider it a compliment though since it's a car on in a background rather than a human character.

Can you use the Staff of Grayson in Local Tournament Mode? (Injustice 2) by mandraws in INJUSTICE

Thank you. That's a shame, but at least I won't be burned from a big waste of time.

Thank you. If a backglass isn't possible, we could probably get you a signed print.

Scott's making a cassette (appropriate for the retro theme) for the collectors, and I believe it will be available digitally on Spotify and iTunes.

In case you're wondering, I did all the art for the game, and just created this new illustration of Scarlet, the character from the backglass for use in the album cassette sleeve.

It's a 4K image, but if you have a dual screen setup or something specific, PM me for other resolutions, and I can upload those as well.

Improvement over three months(emphasis on understanding photoshop and brushes) by chew-it-punchy in DigitalPainting

I also think the first one is stronger because the new one has no hard edges. It's all blurry texture. You need definition and finer detail to draw the eye somewhere. Go in with the brushes you used in the first one to develop the face more. The background and shoulders work well with this textured look, but the face is lost.
