Psykopaint is an insane online photo painting tool
Psykopaint is a new kind of online painting tool that lets you add paint effects to a photo using the photo's original colors. It's extremely easy to achieve striking -- or even creepy -- results by fiddling with Psykopaint's sliders, and the whole thing runs quite smoothly for a Flash app.
Using Psykopaint is as easy as uploading a photo and messing with some of the effects sliders on the side to adjust your brush. Don't worry that there's no way to pick colors, your brush will automatically grab them from your photo. There are sliders for both minimum and maximum, which makes your brush unpredictable and the result more organic. If you set a wide range for brush size, for example, each stroke could end up being a completely different width.

Psykopaint is currently free, but a premium desktop version is in the works.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
