Creating and Adding Custom Patterns to Inkscape
blog.animux.org - 2010-10-02 20:22:53

This tutorial covers how one can create their own custom patterns and make them available to be used on demand. From Inkscape .46, there is an ability to have stock patterns. This means that you can create your own patterns and make them available for use in any Inkscape drawing, not just the one the pattern was created in. Unfortunately, there is no way to construct these from the user interface, but there is a manual workaround.

ArtRage Studio Pro + Wacom Intuos = fun
harkyman.com - 2010-10-02 16:29:25

I bought ArtRage Studio Pro last year as an upgrade from my version 2.0 that I had, but have been too busy to install it until last night. The other bit of incentive to actually install it was that I finally upgraded from a generic pen tablet to a Wacom Intuos 4 (medium, refurbished). What a dream to use. Just fantastic. Nothing to do with Blender exactly, but this is harkyman.com, not blender.com.

Anyway, I got it all set up and did this last night and this morning (click for high res):
