Masked Emotions - Submitted by Brassassin

I’ve had this list sitting around for a while (in case I ever want to try something new) and I thought I’d share it, because why the hell not, everybody loves free stuff. I’ve only used a couple, so for all I know these could be complete shit. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, RIGHT?

*= available for both windows and mac os

GIMP * - Does a lot of the same stuff as Photoshop.

FireAlpaca * - Similar to Paint Tool Sai, so it’s a good alternative for Mac users.

Autodesk Sketchbook Copic Edition * - Simulates the look of copic markers.

MyPaint * - Basic stuff, nothing fancy.

Pinta * - Drawing program modeled after paint.NET.

Inkscape * - Vector/drawing program meant to be similar to Illustrator.

ArtRage * - Digital painting program; you can get the trimmed down version for free or buy the full version with more features.

Sumo Paint * - In-browser drawing app.

DAZ Studio * - Some sort of 3D model poser thing.

Pencil * - Software for animating.

SketchUp * - Tool for making 3D models. Looks handy for stuff like architectural drawings.

Blender * - Pretty popular 3D software.

escape motions * - Some browser apps, fun to fiddle with when you’re bored (the fluid fire simulation is pretty cool imo).

Twistedbrush (Pixarra) - Seems to be meant for replicating the look of traditional media.

Pixia/Phierha - A popular program in Japan, according to the website.

Krita - This was originally made for Linux and it looks like the developers haven’t ironed out all of the kinks in the Windows installer.

Artweaver - Another trimmed down free thing if you don’t want to buy the full program.

paint.NET - Pretty basic kit, probably good for simple stuff.

Project Dogwaffle - I’m not sure what this one is all about because I couldn’t stop laughing at the terrible website.

Speedy Painter - Lightweight digital painting program.

mtPaint - Originally made for pixel art; simple enough to run on older computers.

Chasys Draw IES - Supposed to be some sort of drawing+image editor thing.

PaintRibbon - Seems to be another plain old basic image editor.

DrawPlus - Looks like it’s made for graphic design and vector stuff.

so this is your fault.

I saw your post about Kouichi feeling like he was the “unplanned” twin and it got me thinking about an AU where the twins were actually just one person, “Kouichi Minamoto,” and lived with their mom and dad together in some bittersweet life without a sibling and stuff like that. So there you have it: a character combination of Kouichi and Kouji complete with an orange-ish 3/4 sleeve undershirt, teal overshirt, blue headband, and short pony tale with some cool side bangs. (If you mess with the hue, its just between Kouji and Kouichi’s clothes color scheme.)

hopefully now I’m done thinking about this but probably not. (light grey pants, purple socks, toughest warrior, loves being active….) gah.

I didn’t think this would work really… it kinda did… I think I still need to learn color theory or something.

"Gaming" Takuya x Kouichi

"Complicated"

this is one of my proudest pieces of art

the story: the “good” and the “bad” have switched places/personalities, so the Kouichi on the right, the ‘good Kouichi’ is evil, and the Kouichi in the mirror, (Darkouichi), is good. make sense? no? didn’t think so.

you asked for it

I tried…? a thing???
