Why are you using open-source ?

Journal Entry: Wed May 1, 2013, 6:50 AM

[ picture : I'm moving soon, and while I'm cleaning, I found in the bottom of my bookshelves my old software licenses.  I took a quick photo on the ground to keep a souvenir. ]

"What lead you to use FLOSS ( free/libre open-source software ) on :tux: ? ... are you poor ? utopic ? or ignorant about Pro softwares? ..."

(^_^; )  ...
It's in fact a really frequented-asked-question I get, over and over.
I thought writing a blog post about it could explain it, at least make my life easier in the future when someone ask.
A sensible topic... And you, why are you using mostly open-source ?

Deevad j'ai une question !
Connais tu un logiciel gratuit (je fais une collection d'asticot dans mon porte monnaie) qui pourrais faire des line art ?
Je ne connais aucun autre logiciel assez precis pour ça ...

-Merci d'avance :wormnomnom:

Thank you so much for all of your resources and tutorials! I've been using linux for years, but my digital art has gotten worse because I just couldn't get it to work like photoshop and such. But thanks to you I'm back on track!

You have excellent art [: I've always been a fan! Plus I really respect your usage of non-traditional painting programs; that's awesome!

Keep up the fantastic work, sir! :thumbsup:

you're really genius ! I admire your works so much, especially because I also use Gimp, Mypaint and Krita for painting too.
I've been learning many things from your drawing and posts.
such an inspiration for me.
thank you so much :)

Aww! Thx, but I really don't merit the 'genius' one. I hope to keep in the future the time to maintain tutorials, bug-reports and personnal artworks along my client's comissions who grow... always hard to manage :) thx for the comment !

Hi,
Can you tell me , is it possible to have the wet-on-wet technique in gimp mypaint or krita?

*Deevad Mar 30, 2013  Professional Digital Artist
Hi, Check watercolor brush of Mypaint ; and color-smudge engine of Krita. It does Dulling/Color smudging/Bleeding . It's nice to simulate wet and blending effect.
