Wow the app is really multifaceted! If i had it, I’d use it to re-apply to Virginia Commonweath University: School of Arts. I really dont want to be a creative writing major like I am right now.

Wow , I am so impressed with the video and demonstration.
I want this now to add to my mac apps. I would use this to create
illustrations for children’s books. I would like to see how well it works with Photoshop in making final files for printing.
You didn’t say if you could work RGB or CMYK with it
but I am very interested. It maght be better than Painter
which I have had difficulty with when i make a final file in Photoshop
because of color matching problems.

I do artwork for non-profit groups and I also do digital scrapbooking. I am brand new to Mac and don’t have much Mac software. I know that artrage is used by many digital scrapbooking designers. I’d love to explore its capabilities.

After learning about it here I got the starter edition to try out. I think this is a great application and can think of multiple uses:

Demonstrating in the class room (I teach art history and this will help for discussions of technique, etc).

Also: creating original art, supplementing other digital arts, mock ups/designs/studies, just playing around!

The sky is the limit here, without requiring an unlimited budget. Thanks for the heads up!

i’ve been thinking alot about incorporating these realistic brush textures into my paintings to make them look less “digital”….whoohoo!

Just leave one comment? Wow, in that case…

I can use it to design my friend’s wedding cards and various designs.

I can also use it to do my homework, as in make graphic designs for multimedia stuff.

I would use this for making graphics for websites. With all the painting options I think it would make for a great looking site.

ArtRage is a very good application I’ve been using the (sadly) demo version of ArtRage since 2005 in some form or another. I heard about it on local TV because it featured the NZ company behind ArtRage and thought I would try it out. As soon as I used it, I was pretty impressed with it’s realism and features.

How would I use it? I don’t know yet, the capabilities with imaging apps are limitless. But as a design student, I would just love to see what I could do with it.

I am in the process of illustrating my first childrens book (actually, scratch that, first large scale project, which happens to be a childrens book).

I would use Art Rage as the greatest way to get the first step of the process done, the sketching and blocking in of color, and good be the link between traditional sketching and photoshop. I tried Illustrator and ended up wasting valuable time.

I would definitely like to use Art Rage Pro with my photos. It seems like a much more intuitive way to get the result you want. Also, I’ve started teaching myself to draw again after a long hiatus. Art Rage Pro would definitely come in handy to that end

I already use the free edition to pencil-sketch ideas when brainstorming in application design and usability sessions (on my TPC). I’d love a copy to use on my coming Mac (which should be arriving real soon now )

Aside from the obvious time spent doing Bob Ross “happy little tree” imitations, the ability to import psd files will provide some very interesting creative options to experiment with.

I use it with my friends to play a charade like game when we play all together…

We enjoy a lot and artrage is PERFECT to play =)

I will use art-rage to do column illustrations for a local newspaper and create podcast album artwork, its perfect for it.

I would use ArtRage to finally mix colors like real oil painting. I’ve only used Photoshop so far and it just seems to be missing something. I’d like to give my caricature projects some life using real painting techniques. Now that would be great.

I would give artrage to my 12-year-old daughter who loves to paint and draw and fiddle with photoshop. I’d love to see what she’d do with it.

I am horrible at painting but after watching your video, I decided to download the free version to try the program out. I chose a photo from my iPhoto library and I am having so much fun in “mixing” paint with my photo. The effect is simply amazing. I would love to pin my photo and recreate the art but unfortunately this feature is only available in the premium version.

If you think you can’t paint, you will be surprised at how easy it is to use the program to create work of art that will surely impress others.

ArtRage is the ultimate painting app, bar none.

It would be wonderful for me to practice my drawing and sketching.

By: Silla

Wow, thanks for posting this! I hadn’t heard of the program before, and it looks like the perfect painting app

I would use this program to learn how to paint, and once I’ve done that I’d use it to make paintings for free layouts.

I will use ArtRage to doodle in my free time.

By: Kim

Kim — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 07:00:01 +0000

I’ve been using the free version for about 9 months or so now. Mainly I use it to practise drawing and painting techniques I’ve been learning from the internets; ArtRage allows me to do that without having to use any actual physical supplies, saving money, effort and the environment and still achieving comparable results.

Eventually, when my skills hit a reasonable level, I’ll probably try my hand at a webcomic; currently, though, my efforts are limited to making simple avatars when I need them, e.g. on Facebook/ Adium/ forums.

My mother is an oil painter and she has been looking for a way to use her skills in oil painting on the computer. This appears to be a perfect solution!

I would use this to breathe new life into old, torn and tattered black and white photos with color painting.

I’m sorry I made double post, on post# 9 and post #10

There was some techincal error involving pressing the stop button late when I want to revise my posting

Have contacted the website staff…

I was thinking of getting a tablet with a gift card from my birthday. I would like more flexibility in editing my digital photography, and I’ve always been intrigued with creating original art from my images… looks like Art Rage would be ideal!

I like the idea and concept of this program. The way it can paint is remarkable. I love how it can blend the paint with jpegs. My little daughter loves to play with pictures and painting on them. I love to manipulate symbols around people by putting hearts and halos around them. I also like to paint a jpeg to make people think I am an artist. It is really neat and enjoyable.
