PsO fan art.. ^.-, in search of.. Options

[DivA]

for collecting references ~ i'm on the hunt...perhaps the better resources for learning more about PsO's world lies within the souls of faithful fans.. =} know of any good sources besides the usual channels? came across one this morning, i like this artisan's style; below is the link:

PsO Egg++

my favorite being these two:
gc026
gc028

~there's no denying that i love PsO, that much be true; me thinks it's time to get into the fun of weaving PsO fan art.. =. not an easy decision since i am both shy & protective when showing my art to anyone.. >.< for real, but chatting with 'Rinn the other day made me think otherwise ~ thanks.. ;) i'll give this a chance; all i need now is a scanner.. ;p

Those are very nice pictures indeed.
Did you notice that they were done in Painter? At least i am assuming it was Painter, it says so in the upper right hand corner.
For those not in the know... Painter is a photoshop like program that emulates natural media like watercolor, pen and ink, crayon, pencil, charcol, oil paints, you name it. Very cool program indeed. Never took off like photoshop did though. The interface is a bit hard to grasp. It's like, even though you know photoshop, you think you might know how to use painter... well, you're wrong. Kinda frustrating.

DivA, is it safe for me to assume that you have the Book of Hunters?
