My hand still hurts after doing the photoshop paintings for The Satan Killers, so I've been trying to figure a way to spend less time on the tablet. I thought I'd try Corel Painter to see if it is any faster for what I'm doing and I did these for a comparison. I haven't used it since v9.5 and my opinion is still the same. Cool for some things, can never seem to make a set of brushes that do everything I want. I always thought of digital painting as its own medium, so I was never super on-board with the 'it feels like traditional media!!!!' thing. It has always seemed to have problems Adobe ironed out ages ago too, the one most annoying to me this time was how slow brush resizing is and that it requires two taps to start working again, often making a mark I didn't want. Then you hit ctrl+z, but it didn't actually register the mark so it deletes the layer you just made instead, etcetera etcetera.
