(last of thread)
For years I felt pressured into having to keep up with whatevers trending the most. Little secret for you: Those new apps dont perform any better/worse than the old ones. It may have some new settings/filters and thats about it. Find whatever works for you!

(cont)
USE WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU. Experiment. For example- I hated SAI and CSP. I also downloaded this android version of Procreate (literally a copycat) and immediately decided I hated its set up. Am I running outdated programs from 25+ yrs ago? Yes. Do I care its old? Nope! ->>>

(cont)
For backgrounds or diff textures, I'll use PSP 8, PS Elements, I have a plugin for PS7 that does cool 3D textures (wont work on CS2), and sometimes for nostalgia fun I'll use ancient OC. I think oekaki boards have long died off now, sadly, so I have to find similar in PS brushes->>>

(cont)
Every so often I pick up new programs or learn new things, but I primarily stick to PS CS2 for my main illustration work. For photo editing, I use Snapseed and Google Photos built in editing stuff like magic eraser. I used to do it all manually in PS but tech has improved since then! -->>>

(cont)
which makes it more user friendly (or as I call it, idiot friendly because I feel like a complete idiot trying to learn 3D programs). I need more time to take some "classes"/webinars to learn how to use Blender etc in a way that works for me. The free sculpt from a blob does not. (More -->>)

(cont)
For 3D programs:
I have messed with Blender, Maya, and Nomad Sculpt. Havent touched Zbrush yet.
.
Maya was too complicated/confusing. Blender isnt exactly easy either but once you learn the different tools etc its the easiest of the 3 big brands.
Nomad Sculpt is less complex ->>

(cont.)
want to read my ABR files even though its supposed to... Im pretty much only able to use it for basic lineart and flat colors or cell shading at best. A LOT of things I have to do the long, dragged out, manual way because Krita doesnt have that tool or setting (like dodge/burn) --->>>

(cont.)
which then means the system command thingy wont take it or I have the potential to brick my Pixelbook (did so only once so far). I JUST bought parts for a new PC build so I can go back to using PS and other programs lol. Krita hates me as much as I hate it (freezes, crashes, doesnt ->)

(cont.)
I failed to get old PS to run properly thru Windows emulation for Linux. There was one time where I got it to function correctly then somehow screwed that up. I'm not good with trying to code/script stuff in linux and rely on tutorials. Unfortunately some of those scripts are inaccurate --->

(Continued from prev. post)
➡ Clip Studio Paint
➡ Infinite Painter
➡ Krita
And there's been a few random apps here and there that I tried on my Pixelbook before settling on what worked best.
WHAT I USE NOW: Infinite Painter for sketches and Ive been stuck with crappy Krita because (contine thread)

Some do! Its not common, but some actually have brains and can be taught what things are harmful to others and why. The big factor these days is teaching teenagers and 20 somethings that. People who are 50+ are less inclined to change.

Putting NSFW and the 🔞 emoji in the bio gets picked up by the system filters, tagging all nsfw posts as nsfw, and when your post has an image, there is an extra step:

Special guest appearance during the Deadmau5 set. It was crazy!

If there's even the remote possibility of a fraction of a % chance that they *might* get their way, they will focus all of their energy into trying to ensure that dream comes true no matter how illogical and unrealistic it is. Youre too normal, you weigh your odds. They dont.

Anything that goes against their belief system is viewed as a threat and 100% personal attack. They will gladly spend their lives defending the delusion. Think of it like a dog and a steak. You put the steak just far enough out of reach, does the dog give up just because its chain isnt long enough?

No its not hard work. Its asskissery. They think if they suck up hard enough, their king will grace them with riches. Some people are so deep in the cult that they cant recognize that historically speaking, thats never worked. They want to be rich hy association but in reality are just pawns.

I never thought of that until you said it 🤣 and now thats going to forever be my first thought when I see that mon
