BlackInk

I'm the main developper of BlackInk a new drawing Software currently in private Beta test.
Black Ink is a drawing software that uses the features of your graphics card for rendering extremely smooth, even on very high definition.
Thanks to Virtual Texture update the user can draw in 10Kx10K image without any lag.

Black Ink does not try imitate real graphic, thus it may also register as a generative art software.
Black Ink also offers a custom user interface allows fast access to the brushes through independent historical settings.

You can check some realisation done with it at http://blackink-drawing.tumblr.com/
The Public Beta will be released soon at http://www.bleank.com/

That's so cool, loving it! Very distinctive art-style (was that a byproduct or by design?) too, wouldn't mind hanging the bridge piece on my wall personally!
The art style for the Bridge Picture come from a Brush called "Crepon" in BlackInk you can see how to achieve this effect with the software in this video https://vimeo.com/41307448

What did you use for the UI part?
The widgets are very slick, with just enough animation.
Is it a custom toolkit on top of DirectX? WPF?
Looks fantastic, really love the ui.

That's pretty f'n epic.

We have developped a full custom UI framework.
The rendering is done in DirectX9 or 10 but thanks to API abstraction we can make a porting for DirectX11/OpenGL
