Other art stuff in my box I haven't gone through

PS: 3/4ths of this stuff is Faber Castell, aka imho the best company for art supplies. They're expensive as hell but it's so worth it.

Also considering most of my stuff goes in a shoebox I think I want to laminate it with tin foil and draw crap on it. I dunno.

Eh. I'm not gonna post pictures or anything but... I make animal crossing murals and post em on DA. I make mural awards to acknowledge what I consider to be great art. Anywho, to make these murals I use:

Paint, GIMP, custom GIMP Indexed Palettes, a homemade C++ color picker, Anicro Murapro, Anicro Desapro and of course Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Making murals really isn't difficult, merely tedious and, as time goes by I consider it to be less and less of an art.

Whee! Here's hoping your thread doesn't die!

MS Paint

/hatersgonnahate

But it's the Windows 7 version, so it's not as bad as most people think.

What is bad about it is that there is no big pencil, and I hate using the brush when drawing something I'm too lazy to not fill in with bucket, and it's bad quality.

Thanks haha. I didn't include any of the programs I use, but I have the cs5 master collection, Final cut pro, and Autodesk Maya/3ds max. I have the boxes and everything still @.@ I didn't torrent it this time.

But that's really cool, especially the color picker.

Woah, how did you make that glow effect? I don't know of any such tool.

 

[Caius]

There is no tool, I made it from scratch.
