Hi Folks,

Feel free to post your thumbnail creations here, using the Nintendo DS homebrew program Colours.

To start off with, here is a collection of thumbnails I've worked on in the past three days. Its allowed me to be very productive, and explore colour palletes funnily enough.

Unfortunately, I dont think prince charles looks like prince charles..so I have a long ways to go on improving my DS skill set or painting in that manner.

nice range and it appears to have a diverse set of options with regards opacity, colour range, stroke and line. Ive been talking with Dennis about buying one and decided (especially after seeing Mattias Snygg's painting) to get one.

However I'm getting a work buddy to get one stateside for me as I'm fed up with the UK's extortionate prices, upside=save cash, downside=gotta wait 2 weeks for him to get back.

Are you able to use the 'playback' feature and will it transfer?

I have a stupid question: what is DS?

[koshime]

Yes - u can playback on the PC and Upres the size/resolution very nicely.

Its my new workflow method. Mathias and sparth are going nuts with it as well. A colorus revolution mate. I'd but another DS if I can get one cheap (PM me your source dude...)

Kbarts > Nintendo DS lite - small revolutionary gaming machine - but has enough slots to allow homebrew programs...to allow it to...play movies, dvds, audio, programs, paint,etc...

nice thumbnail sketches Koshime! I like the colours of them.
Too bad I dont have a DS, do you know the average price?

[koshime]

US 145 USD (£72)
Euro 150 Euros

thanks for the information Koshime. Not too sure if I will buy it though. Saving for a larger tablet since the volito is hurting my hand lately :D

Oh great, now I want a DS as well :mellow:

There's some nice pic's in there m8 ;)

[koshime]

Just - DONT PLAY IT WITHOUT CHARGING IT FOR 4 HOURS FIRST!

[Kasper]

Why? What happens when you do play it?

[Sketchling]

... I didnt... I just plugged it in and it charged as I played... :D Said so in the manual and I get plenty battery life from it.

My ds colour paintings can be found here: http://images.sketchling.com/index.p...20on%20my%20DS

[koshime]

I've got to get some replacement batts...I played it from the box....so, teh charge is onyl good for 3 hours (wheras you norm get a good 6-17 hours play)

Finally a DS thread ! I'm getting my stuff any day , Monday earliest, thuesday probably!
really excited..

Do you like it koshime ? I'm bit worried about the 3 inch space... Since i'm using 3 monitors and a huge ass wacom.. haha...

Ohwell, I guess one get used to it ?

[Mull]

mines ordered but i wont get to 'paint' read that as play until my bro gets back from the states :(

Wow, I totally missed out on this little revolution. So is this 'colours' program actually on a nintendo DS cart? or is it some kind of peripheral add-on that isn't supported by nintendo and you have to plug in somehow?

Those thumbnails look great Koshime, am I right in thinking that the DS doesn't have pressure sensitivity?

I wonder if theres anything like this for PDAs? Screens are bigger on those and the apps could have more features.
