Anyone playing with this?
i started a hunt recently for some new and interesting paint progs, came across a few that I like, but I think this one seems to be the most promising, and free!
http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?en_version
it has (from my playing) a pretty decent (so far) brush engine and colour bleeding which is pretty much all I want from a paint app. only thing missing is SAI's realtime horizontal flip preview
check it out
ps: another much more limited app, which I kinda liked the feel of (well, the watercolour brush)
is twistedbrush free edition: although I'm pretty sure I'll focus my attention on artweaver for now

In a way thats a bit drag down for me to even test it out because support / read about sources are difficult for me to translate.
But certainly booth very impressive - I wish the official GIMP project would steer more towards a professional target audience like Blender for example does. Like now its often to crappy to start with it mainly because of the GUI which is so eewh
though from a technical perspective the Japanese link seemed to be more interesting with 2 new brush engines or so it looked to me. Almost like openCanvas and some zBrush lazy mouse or gravity brush.
its nice to see such projects evolving

this one is even used for the next Blender Movie "Durian"

I'll give Artweaver a go later. I've been reading the blog of the GPS-guy for a while too, but haven't yet tried the application. The recent release of english documentation will probably change that
(ps. Google Reader can now automatically translate a blog into any language. Not perfectly, obviously, but it works well enough for most purposes.)
edit: what's the link between Project Dogwaffle and Artweaver? lampoly suggests that Artweaver is a renaming of Pdw, but that's still around too, and certainly looks much different. Oh, and that one's still payware, too.
Anyway, Artweaver and GPS are really good to do good painting.
edit: oh, by the way while I was searching I came across a really nice simple animation program called pencil. looks very handy for making animatics/storyboards
