Hi Guys,
I'm really humbled by the response i've got with my first premium theme which i placed on themeforest http://bit.ly/ma1yUq. Let me know what you think.
Plus it also got featured also on 'the best of Themeforest - May 2011 Edition'

Beautifull theme!
How much editing did you need to do outside of Artisteer?
|
| |
Arrowart

99% 
ok honestly quite a bit. For me artisteer is good to give you a framework to work with, the rest, sweat baby!
Hey thanks for the big up :)
PS: i dont mind sharing the raw artisteer template to anyone who purchases the them :)

But wouldn't that negate Artisteer seeing as there are plenty of basic templates/frameworks out there on which to build your site?

In some way you're right. Its all a matter of preference from one tool to the other. Personally i only use artisteer to - sketch the draft part, pick the colors, get various ideas of block positions and layouts - of the painting i would really love to paint. so it really upto a designer.
From there i take it to photoshop to do all the glows, bells and whistles.

I think we need more of these samples to up the bar on Artisteer theme designs.
I agree with Arrowart, I use artisteer for the start and then do some tweeks afterward. Artisteer is also a great application to get some concepts to a client quickly. To answer what martin says about templates out there... Artisteer gives you more control and flexibility.

What I'd like to see is showcases of sites that are 100% artisteer rather than having been externally tweaked.
And volunteers to start this off?

Arrowart,
very cool. Interested to know if you leave all the .art CSS in the premium themes you make?

@Richard,
I'm hoping to put a site up to do exactly that - hopefully soon.
@Patrick - From artisteer version 3.0 it gives you the option of omitting the prefix from the css which works ok for me :)

Arrowart.. COOL..:) eally like your designs.
I don´t understand why people don´t like that there are some code pointing to Artisteer. Who cares? I understand that someone want to get rid of it because template will get lot smaller and faster without any additional trash functions/lines/images.
But i have seen that there are lot of people that thinks Artisteer is cheating, it really is not. Or then Photoshop is cheating too?? have i missed something?
I don´t know how you guys define Premium template, but i´m sure Arrowarts template will fit to that..

I'm also using Artisteer the same way also. I build my framework and do the tweaking around and add the plugins it right after I generate the theme.
I started doing that when I built my portfolio site - http://adrimarie.us
If people say that using Artisteer is "cheating," what about people using pre-made templates from other designers, tweak them to their own custom fit and sell them to the public? Wouldn't that be cheating too? 
More importantly, your clients wouldn't really care what tools you use when you build their sites. For non-blog/CMS sites I use Sitegrinder plugin for Photoshop (it was a gift but Sitegrinder is really expensive) for a few of my clients and they're satisfied with them.
As long as the websites you design function properly, everyone wins.

What do you mean by "sites that are 100% artisteer"? Does that include blogs as well? Personally, I can't say that I'm all that interested in designing full website templates, but as for blog themes, I know how to do some things. I have created several themes using some of my own graphics(that I either designed or licensed) and just used artisteer to make the coding go faster. Does that count?

Here a few more I've done in the past:
http://themeforest.net/item/clarke-premium-creative-joomla-template/2377485/?ref=arrowthemes
http://themeforest.net/item/abana-premium-business-joomla-template/2281000/ref=arrowthemes
Used a couple of elements from the latest version then integrated into a framework.
