2018-09-12 12:21:55 UTC  

yeah. Furries are cheapskates. Atleast weebs buy Clip Studio.

2018-09-12 12:22:30 UTC  

I got Clip studio becuase of it's Batch-file mechanic for illustrating and printing books

2018-09-12 13:27:58 UTC  

lol wtf is this

2018-09-12 13:28:05 UTC  

you just trace 3d models?

2018-09-12 13:38:15 UTC  

Lol no. I use photoshop to create illustrations and then use clip studio to format the pages of my books for print

2018-09-12 13:38:44 UTC  

@turtwig Do you seriously only use Clip Studio for 3D models?

2018-09-12 13:40:28 UTC  

Clip Studio is a professional illustration software for printing books and comics. Yes it is Japanese and yes it was originally made for Manga. But it's a one time payment software... unlike Photoshop...

2018-09-12 13:44:20 UTC  

what???

2018-09-12 13:44:27 UTC  

I don't use it at all

2018-09-12 13:45:00 UTC  

I googled it and immediately it looked like it was a shitty 3d modelling tool so you could trace your manga

2018-09-13 12:44:48 UTC  

@turtwig Nah, thats a new feature they're trying to Market. In Japan Clip Studio is their go-to software, whereas here in the west it's Photoshop.

__Photoshop__
> The difference is that Photoshop was really just a Photo-manipulation tool which was modded for drawing.
> Monthly subscription service that requires internet connection
> Doesn't have basic drawing tools by default (such as a symmetry tool and synthetic paint), requires mods.

__Clip Studio Pro__
> Clip Studio (previously named "Manga Studio") is a purpose made illustration and comics software, with inbuilt book formatting and batch file exports
> Single time licence purchase, doesn't require internet connection.
> Free updates for life, but expensive licence for full version.
> Has an entire tool-set dedicated to rules and symmetrical rulers. Every tool can be modified to extreme lengths. All tools are default or provided in free updates.

@turtwig I don't make manga, but Clip Studio is a great tool if your making a book or comic you want to print professionally. Alternatively you have Sketchbook Pro, which was recently made free.

Photoshop is the monthly feed gay

2018-09-13 12:54:48 UTC  

I have it becuase I'm at Uni... but after I leave I'm going to dump it

2018-09-13 12:55:02 UTC  

I'd say almost anything is a better alternative to it, but if I found I had to use it I would just try to buy a retail copy of CS2

2018-09-13 12:55:21 UTC  

gotta be like £500 quid right?

2018-09-13 12:55:29 UTC  

I'm using Aseprite, which is also gay

2018-09-13 12:55:50 UTC  

try Sketchbook pro

2018-09-13 12:56:10 UTC  

it used to be a paid software that went free only a few months ago

2018-09-13 12:56:26 UTC  

Whatever you do do not use the GIMP

2018-09-13 12:57:28 UTC  

My current favourite illustration software are ***Clip Studio Pro EX*** and ***Sketchbook Pro***

2018-09-13 13:53:50 UTC  

I got full CC

2018-09-13 13:53:59 UTC  

suits my needs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-09-13 13:55:18 UTC  

unfortunately there isn't an acceptable alternative to illustrator

2018-09-13 14:02:00 UTC  

I agree

2018-09-13 14:02:20 UTC  

I use illustrator from time to time, but the layering system drives me crazy

2018-09-13 14:07:40 UTC  

my job is almost entirely illustrator based rip

2018-09-13 14:10:40 UTC
