Nin's Sai2 Dupe for CSP and Photoshop

One brush that I use almost religiously for painting (especially in CSP EX) is my Sai2 Dupe

In 2020 I switched from working solely in Sai2 to working in CSP EX and I couldn't find the right brush to get the feel and style of painting that I harnessed in the prior years (and this was prior to the 2021 version 1.10.10 brush feature update (csp allowing to upload and use abr files)).

So I made this brush (NinSai2 Brush.sut) ! And so far I've been able to get a similar feeling without needing to rely on only one program or constantly switch programs to get the right kind of look!

Above you will see:

- how the brushes look in use (1= the og sai brush, 2= my first dupe, 3= the abr version for photoshop without any additonal edits)

- the settings to use to convert the unedited abr file (called Sai2 Brush 1) found in the PS Default + Nin brush.abr pack, into the usable version (or you can use it as is!).

- a painting example made entirely in CSP EX with the dupe

or, use the Sai2 Brush.png to use the custom brush tip but create your own brushes from it!

Remember: .sut = CSP EX and Sai2 / .abr = Photoshop
