There and Back Again!

[Lilly]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, it's good to be back!

Hey Luke, welcome back to the Resource! I don't think I know you (I arrived here about a year ago), so nice to meet you! Hopefully you'll stay here for a while and make some great art

Haha, I shouldn't be surprised you've already forgotten me! XD I still remember you though, can't forget a name like puggsoy. =P

*fistpump*

I don't sprite myself but for arranging sheets (and any kind of non-vector image editing) I always use GIMP, and am a huge fan of the program. You're the first person I've met that uses it to sprite, and while I knew it was possible to make sprites with it I never was sure if it was sufficient or quite how good it was for the task.

Yeah, I use it for everything now, so it's cool knowing there's another active GIMP user on here. (It's so handy having layers, the color replace function, and a bunch of the other tools, to make pixel art a much cleaner process than it was when I used KolourPaint or MSPaint. XD) Although I'm trying to learn how to use Krita, Inkscape, and CS2 now, because I like having the advantage of multiple programs, even if GIMP's my main killer app on Linux. =P

Krita's perfect for painting, Inkscape is better suited for high-res vectors, (10,000x10,000, for instance.) and Photoshop CS2- well, you never know when knowing PS's UI will come in handy, especially if I buy CS6 one of these days. XD
