We just launched a new tool to Beta Testers that allows you to paint words onto your canvas in deviantART muro
!
The text brush lets you create visual art using words. You can change the text and font from the bottom bar, and you can also set whether or not the text repeats itself continuously. When you click the font button, you'll be prompted with a modal that contains an extensive list of fonts to choose from! The sample text will update based on the font you select, so you can get a sense of what you'll be painting before you paint it.
As an example of the great things you can create with this tool, you can check out $

Try it out!
It seems to work well. I like the "Continuous" feature. I was a little distressed at the fact that the text brush was very sensitive to movement, but then was relieved to see that the SHIFT key would keep it steady. Some of our less MS-Paint experienced users may like to know that you can do this.
I would suggest a text brush sensitivity adjuster. Higher sensitivity for drawings made out of words, and lower sensitivity for sentences you'd like to add to your piece.

Other than that, I have a question. Is it possible to make Commissions with our creations on dAMuro?. Usually, many users take commissions with their works of art made with digital drawing programs. And wanted to know if you could also do with drawings on dAMuro, and if on dA there are no rules prohibiting it.
Thanks
