its not finished yet, but i have a nice screenshot, it does take a while to brush it all in.

im painting in gimp and modelling in blender, makes a nice free combination.

heres the texture. (its 4096x4096)

more work, ill do the texture some more next.

Looks nice. I do love the hand-painted look. I'd take a hand-painted scene over a dusty brown, gritty, ultra-photo-realistic scene any day of the week.

thanks!

you can even scribble little signs all over it hehe.

The filters are really good to take advantage of too, they can fix your colours up a little, if you picked them a little weak.

last update for a while, i want to get most of it finished before i post again, anyway i gotta go to church.

The moment I read your post and saw the work I thought to myself, "wow, this is really something." I love the idea, think it's fantastic. The art's wild too, and I've been a huge proponent of all free, all the time, so your choice of tools won me over instantly.

This reminds me, too, about how the idTech5 devkit and toolset works, the old MegaTexture tech and "painting" environments. Big fan of the idea and I hope there's a project out there waiting for your work to get finished!
