I've become unsatisfied with Graphicsgale. I mean, it's not a bad program by any means, but outside it's animation capability, I feel that
Paint.net or Paint Shop Pro 9 ( the one, the only, the best ) does the job better. Since I now have
Ubuntu as a boot option, I've been giving
GIMP another look, too... it can be quite good
with a
bit of
customization. And then, of course, there's my own paint app... But that sucks, so nevermind.
The problems in KZ sprites are too deep to be fixable with tweaking, so I'll need to re-draw. I think I'll go through the hand-drawn -> scanning process this time, it'll give me a better pose, and animation is easier, too...
Speaking of which,
Pencil is relatively impressive. I'm not sure which I prefer,
Plastic Animation Paper or it. I guess pencil is better, but I like sketching with PAP4 a bit more. Well, maybe.
On the digital painting side, I still think
OpenCanvas is probably the best.
I'm also itching to do something with
Adventure Game Studio.... when I'm not swamped by studies.
Oh, yeah. I did complete the
Chzo Mythos series, too. Although in wrong order. Once again, 5-7-notes-6. I played 6 as the second game, and whoa huge spoilers. T_T
