Eh, just a general question to you artists out there.

What programs do you use to create your works of art?
Be it sprites, traditional art, or a nice banner.

Ever since I started spriting, I have been using MS Paint. It's real simple, but it has the tools I need, and it's not as complicated as GIMP or Paint.NET.
I occasionally use GIMP though, too. But that's really only if I'm doing an avatar or a pixel over.

ChibiPaint all the way!
I also use GIMP, Paint.net, and PaintTool Sai. I might use OpenCanvas too if I decide I like it.

I use paint.net. It hasn't yet given me any real problems.

Oh, and by the way, that was my 100th post. I just now realized that...
I'll do some long note for my 200th, maybe...FAIL.

...I'm not an artist, but still Gimp

(Also, people who use it too might want to try upgrading to the beta, 2.7.3. It works nicely in single window mode.)

I use GIMP most of the time, if not always.

I used to use MS Paint for everything, now I use Paint.net. But I also use GIMP sometimes for extra effects. hopefully in the future I will get to a point where I only use GIMP for graphics.

Oh, but if I ever sprite again (not likely) I'll use MS Paint of course.

For spriting, I use GIMP for fusing and Paintbrush (normal Paint for Macs) for everything else.

Paint.NET for spriting (If I get back into it), and Flipnote Studio for hand drawings and animations (Well, it's a DSiWare app instead of a computer program, but still).

I use Photoshop for graphics. And occasionally GIMP, because it seems to be better for some other things.

And of course MSPaint.
