please don't make the same mistake as Krita now
it looks like they are getting drunk from there own success
creating a hormones chicken only to get bigger, better, more

stick to the basic and make that perfect
if someone cant paint with that
advice him/here to take gimp and become a plug-in jockey

Re: What's your favourite LowBudget, Freeware, OpenSource Pr

Ahaha, thanks, Silver, but it's hard to resist to hook up at least basic post processing, the wild brush image stuff and a cool color pallet along side proper masking. I will stay away from text, I think, and most likely vectors won't come into the mix either, but that's not entirely clear, yet. I may, though, add scripting or other record/playback functions that are quite amazing! 8-)
...I won't let it slow Verve down, though, I can promise you that! :ugeek: :D
