@davidrevoy @mtthgn @harriorrihar Yes, hehe, I also had Bauhaus Mirage, and before that I had Aura for windows too... just as in TVPaint, you could choose the TWO colors that will affect –by tint– any grayscale brush, or color brush. So as you paint, with a single grayscale brush, you can colorpick any combined tones, and give texture to the stroke.

@davidrevoy @mtthgn @harriorrihar However, in my Krita experiments, I only could tint the animbrush with a single color. Only alpha is used in Krita – and grayscale info is ignored. Is there any other way to achieve dual color?

@kotecamacho About the brush stoke with two colors built in: it can be replicated, with Krita grayscale brushtips 'Lightness Map' mode, and Gradient Map on it, using the 'foreground' as a color. Check: - https://docs.krita.org/en/tutorials/krita-brush-tips/gradient_map_brush_tip.html - https://docs.krita.org/en/tutorials/krita-brush-tips/bristle_from_heightmap_brush_tip.html It is probably not 100% similar to what TVPaint or Mirage do, but it's a solid set of option to make alternative brushes that might reproduce some of the effect you need, for building your alternative solution. @mtthgn @harriorrihar
