Thought I might as well post this here!! ;v; A bit of a long post since I put some extra settings in here, but they're down bellow, so all you need to know about the brush itself should be here!! This is a brush I made for SAI a while ago that I posted to tumblr, and a few people from over here were asking me to post it in the art forums!! I'm pretty sure this is where it should be posted, since this is the art forum, but correct me if I'm wrong!

To install, simply make a new airbrush in an empty slot in SAI, and adjust it to these settings!! Please don't ask me about the Dirt 03 texture, I've gotten millions of those already. It's a default texture for some versions of SAI, if you don't have it, you can find it for download on a few sites!

Please note: I do really appreciate it when people use and enjoy the brushes I make, but I do NOT appreciate the replication/copying of the images shown above or any of my art work! Please make your own images to practice instead of copying mine ;m;

The effect are pretty simple, but maybe I'll make a tutorial on them some day! They're basically just a bunch of luminosity layers and a few flicks of the hand.

for blending and detailing:

I suggest detail and blend layers on luminosity or addition!! Use bright colours, either pale or neon!

FOR BLENDING:

I suggest using a watercolour brush on following sets:
Size: 26.0
Min size: 60%
Density: 100%
Spread: 50%
(No Texture)
Blending: 50
Dilution: 50
Persistence: 80
Keep opacity: yes
Smoothing Prs: 50%
+Advanced Settings:
Quality: 2
Edge Hardness: 0
Min Density: 0
Max Dens Prs: 100%
Hard <-> Soft: 100

FOR DETAILING:
I suggest using a brush on the following sets:

Size: 100.0
Min size: 3%
Density: 54%
Spread: 100%
(No Texture)
Blending: 49
Dilution: 0
Persistence: 80
Keep opacity: no
+Advanced Settings:

Thank you for sharing! I'll be trying this really soon. :3

For those who need all the additional textures, they can be found here: http://sai.detstwo.com/forum/index.php/topic,172.0.html

I downloaded and installed these myself without problem.

Instructions for installation

1. Unzip the file somewhere.
2. Copy the elemap and texture folders.
3. Go to where your SAI installation is installed.
4. Paste the folders inside the Paint Tool SAI folder.
5. In some cases your texture folder may be called papertex - if this is the case, copy the contents of the texture folder into the papertex folder instead.
6. From your Paint Tool SAI folder, open start-sai.exe to finalize the installation. You can now run Sai from Sai.exe in the future as usual.
My file doesn't seem to have a start-sai.exe thingy
And the link in the forums to get it is broken ;3;

Any way to help this, or shall I be forever bound to the 3-4 (derp on my end) basic sai textures?

I'm not sure why it's broken for you, I downloaded the file just now. But maybe this will help. I uploaded the zip-file as I downloaded it from the site and my own start-sai.exe file into a dropbox folder.

I can't promise it will be up forever, but you can fetch them from here. Please use your own healthy judgment with these files. They haven't caused issues on my end and appear virus free, but it never hurts to exercise caution with file archives and executables. Run a virus scan on them just in case.

If anyone else needs support with this PLEASE PM me directly, I don't want this thread hijacked for textures support and whatnot! I'll do my best to help. Let's focus on OP's wonderful brush! :)
