and yes I drew that! ME! the one with no talent!

Okay by request here is a list for everyone.

The point of this list is you people must tell me about more programs. that way it will get bigger

Note: most of these were taken from the tutorials thread.
Legend: ($)= Costs money.  (F)= Freeware   (S)= Shareware     (*/5)= My Personal Rating

($ 5/5) Paint Shop Pro : One of the more popular programs here. Very powerful and relatively easy to get use to if you give it a chance.
Note: PSP8 is now beta testing get a copy now


($ 5/5) Photoshop : Same as above


($S 2/5) : Game Artist Studio : Program for designing sprites.
Might be good with a little more experience but nothing too special


(F 4/5) PhotoPlus 5 : A very good Find its like PSP or PS but free!


(F 4/5) GIMP : Seemingly powerful tools. But I havent used it.


(F 2/5) Image Forge : Like it or hate it its still free.


(F 4/5) Reptile 2 : Good for what its for. Used to make seemless tiles.


(F 4/5) Ulitmate Paint : I used to use this one. Its as easy as paint but alot better.


(f? 4/5) Pixia : Lots of people use this one. When done right can make some really nice pictures!


(F 3/5) Project Dogwaffle : alot like pixia only good if you know what you are doing.

CorelDraw - Vector-capable program similar to the basic options of PSP.  A handy program that costs a tad less than PS.  

Ulead PhotoImpact - The one I use.  Mainly aimed toward web-graphic development.  Can use both image objects and path objects (Bitmap and vector, basically).  Many options resemble paint shop pro.  I'd probably use PhotoShop instead but I've been using this one for years.  Price is comparable to Coreldraw, I believe.

One thing we ought to mention is that if you like PhotoShop or just would prefer it to Paint Shop Pro but you dislike the cost, there's also Adobe Elements which is more-or-less a scaled down version of Photoshop that probably has all options you'll need at a far more reasonable price.

For all you sprite artists out there: take a look at this German program:

ProMotion ( http://cosmigo.com/promotion/ )

It is a lot like the old Amiga DPaint4, and has some very cool onionskin and anti-aliasing functions.
It costs money though: $47,- for the CD version, $19,95 for a lite version with less functionality. They have a trial version for download as well.

For all you Flash people out there... www.toonboom.com

Links from OTG

Ultimate Paint  - Good for pixelly stuff too, altho pro-motion is spiffier. Features a trial.

NeoPaint - Similar, 30 day trial

Links from Eggie

Deluxe Paint- It's on a few abandonware sites. Used to draw MI1/2 if you didn't know...

Grafx2-Kind of like Dpaint but...incomplete. I like it alot.

Flash- I just love the sort of pictures this produces, it may not be too good for bitmap based sprites but if you want a cutscene picture or a hi-res background with a cartoony feel I reccommend it.

Pencil and Paper- Shitty, obselete program that no-one uses anymore.

Anyone using "ArtGem!"? It's a simple, 2MB drawing program, extremely easy to use, yet almost as powerful as Photoshop!   It just doesn't have all of those filters. I do all my painting with that.

It is 30-day trial shareware (but nothing is disabled until trial ends (in versions 1.2 and lower)) and well --
As piracy is not the thing to talk about, only hint I can tell you that 30 days are set by Windows' calendar/clock, during installation and first run.  

Avaible everywhere in internet, I got it from www.tucows.com .

PLEASE READ:  SEE A PROBLEM WITH THE LIST? or if you want to add something (new program or better description) please IM me and I will make corrections I dont want to see a whole lot of replays saying that I rated something wrong.  

Did some pruning, m0ds.

when I saw you bg it reminded me of this picture by my GF    http://cjpthatsme.topcities.com/brandi4.gif   (copy and paste)

I found this  http://members.tripod.com/iaedq/   its deluxe paint 2

problem is I'm not sure if you can trust the site

I DLed it and it is indeed DP2 tho  I just hope there are no funky files in the archive

and btw I personally like UP

I never  question bad logic    

Melia- okay so youl only do it if
1) there are no other volunteers
2) There is another volunteer?

I keep saying if you spe enough time getting to know paint you can make quality stuff with it

I understand that these things need Guide-lines and when it comes to sex I agree it should not be shown.

but

A lot of artists use nudity as a way to show somthing.  I personally dont do nude pictures because I enjoy developing the characters more by their style of clothing. But to deny somone the option to express themselves the way the want to, just seems mean.

and I know there are kids in these boards (younger then me anyway) and I agree the should not be subject to tastless pornography and sexual acts. Yet children looking at good art with a little nudity dosnt bother anyone. (besides the youngest i've seen in these boards is 13, and you cant tell me little boys at that age dont know what "boobies" are)

anyway I'm tired and I'm probably just looking to have a intellegent conversation unlike the ones in the blood island forum

I'll get out of the way, and retreat back into the silence of my room.

Keep up the good work OTG and if I get a chance I'll contribute to this little shin-dig. I hope you dont think less of me for saying my opinion.  

and scotch In this one, I also see it as a good rule, I too dont like people drawing breasts just for the sake of seeing them.  and as I said before nudes arent my thing ( I hate drawing them) But some people might want to, and i want them to fell welcome to join in the fun. I hope you dont think less of me for saying my opinion aswell.  

and i agree no nudity in mother-goose!   IS NOTHING SACRED???!!?!!?!?!
