Love that oblique view Chashio
Looks great so far.
That dramatic sky gives it a real feel of panorama

I've been umming and ahing about Artrage for a long time now - not enough space in my head to store so much learning all at once with all the other apps I've been trying at the same time, but if you keep on drawing stuff like this, then I'm just going to have to dive in myself.

I hope you pick it up. ArtRage is actually really easy to learn, and a lot of fun to use... they did a pretty good job of making the interface with artists in mind.

I think you'll find Mouse that Artrage is more freindly then some other programmes, it's definitely easier then Gimp or PhotoShop and gives nice results. Their natural media brushes are top notch and very realistic, the only programme that I've found that can beat it in that department is Corel Painter which is wildly expensive and difficult to learn but only because there brush system is so robust. I haven't tried making maps with either of them because they don't play as well with my surface tablet as PhotoShop, but the water colour simulation in both programs is very promising.

I wonder if Artrage has a free trial...

Hey Chashio, Kacey

I'm an impulse buyer. Its got me into all kinds of trouble when I was younger, but the way I control it now is to deny myself the trial version until I already have the money to buy the app without doing myself any financial harm - just in case I fall in love with it and can't resist the temptation. The only recent exception to that rule has been Sketchup - but you can carry on using the free version if you can't afford the pro

Reality, though, has left me penniless for a while yet, so it may be a few months before you see me experimenting
