Photo Art Maniac - Two years anniversary

It was two years ago when I first invented the game idea for PAM and draw first UI design to my notebook. But it took until summer 2011 before version 1.0 was released (for Symbian^3 phones). In the beginning of this year 1.0 for Android saw the light of day and since then many updates have been released. Newest version 2.2 (released today) adds possibility to post photos and high score announcements directly to the user's Facebook wall. So we can say that this is the two years anniversary release.

Photo Art Maniac 2.1

Photo Art Maniac version 2.1 is out. Game usage experience was streamlined to be easier and more comfortable. Take part to the challenge and try if you have photo artist skills to make your artwork to Global Gallery. Get the game from Google Play.

Photo Art Maniac 2.0

Photo Art Maniac version 2.0 is released. Most important new feature is a global shared art gallery for best artworks (i.e. global high score board). Missions are now played one-by-one and 75% result is needed to open next one.

Artist's Eye application

Unleash your creativity with Artist's Eye drawing aid application. Artist's Eye is utility that helps you to draw or paint with real pen or pencil to paper or canvas. It can be applied in any kind of visual arts including drawing, painting and wood engraving.

Choose model picture (e.g. photo) and while you draw watch your drawing through the phone or tablet (that need to have camera). Model will be shown semi-transparent on the top of your ongoing drawing helping you to outline the contours. It is best if you can attach phone to some kind of support stand so that it stays still and both hands are free. This is not cheating but a new way of working and learning as well.

Free trial version for Android phones and tablets is available from Google Play.
