I would like to get a tablet PC but they’re kinda (REALLY) out of my price range.
Yesterday,
MaxVest introduced me to this neat DS application called ‘Colors!’ It’s a small DS application you can run with any DS Loader.
(Sorry for the crappy image - thought I'd try my hand at illustrating Peach again)
While not a real substitute for mobile tablet, does a really good job and is really quite a lot of fun. The brushes feel akin to Photoshop (which I’m used to) and the color picker akin to Painter.
Let me do a quick copy and paste of the features they have for it-
• Hard and soft circular brush
• Pressure-sensitivity can affect opacity and brush-size
• 512x384 image resolution with 2 stage zoom
• Replay the whole painting process of an image
• Hue-circle and luminance and saturation-triangle style palette
• Load and Save to memory card
COLORS!
(seems Cowboy TTop had mentioned this in a
blog earlier this year and I totally missed it.)

Also, who knew that the DS was pressure sensetive?
I've had Colors since I got my R4 about 8 months ago, but I could never do something like this. So good, Chanh.
Man- seems I really missed the boat on this one. Couldn't seem to find a blog about it initially and thought I'd share.
Sorry!
Anyway, I got my Cyclops DS and downloaded Colors, and being an artist myself, its a recommendation for anyone looking for something different and cool for DS.
Just wish someone like Ubisoft, would look at releasing Colors officially. Its definitely a great flagship for the otherwise frowned upon homebrew scene, and shows what can really done by the small guy.
Looks amazing, you really have a great talent.
Now i wish i had a DS with a loader and try to make cool Teta draws some destructoid.
Post your stuff somewhere! I think seeing what you can do with the software is what gets people interested. Otherwise it's a little abstract.
