Compiled list of Art Programs for Texturing
Okay, so it seems like there is a new "What Art Program should I use" thread every week, so I figured I'd go ahead and make a list of Art Programs you can choose from with a bit of info about them.
Most commonly used for Textures:
Photoshop - One of the most powerful Art programs out there, and is well suited for creating Toribash textures.
Gimp - A powerful and easy to use Art program, also the free alternative to Photoshop. I use it, personally.
Free Art Programs:
Krita - A lightweight Art program with quite a few nifty features. A mixture of Gimp and Pain Tool SAI
Gimp - A powerful and easy to use Art program, also the free alternative to Photoshop. I use it, personally
Paint.NET - An old, but reliable Art program. Slightly less powerful than gimp, but able to get what you want done.
SumoPaint - Both usable in your browser and on your desktop. Comes with nice features for the free version, and is rather easy to use.
Project Dogwaffle - A program with similarities that of ArtRage and Painter.
Artweaver - A lightweight Art program with commendable features, and a rather neat collaboration feature.
openCanvas - Designed with tablet users in mind, easy to use, and straight to the point.
Non-Free Art Programs:
Photoshop - One of the most powerful Art programs out there, and is well suited for creating Toribash textures.
Coral Painter- Abundent traditional Art features, amazing brush engine, etc, etc.
ArtRage - Another amazing brush engine that emulates traditional tools. 80J4N uses it 8 D
Paint Tool SAI - Popular for a lot of particular artist. Great brush engine for mixing and stabilization. Used by Chris.
SketchBook - The standard for a lot of big companies. Has unique features, and a brush engine similar to Photoshop. Used by Jebus.
Adobe Illustrator - An powerful Art program from the same company as Photoshop with built in tutorials.
3D Art Programs:
Mudbox - Digital painting and digital sculpting software. Expensive, but it's free for students.
Zbrush - 3D Art software for painting and sculpting with powerful features and intuitive workflow. 795 $
Blender 3D - Free 3D Art program with great features and an amazing community.
Tip - Remember before picking a program that no matter which you use, It won't make you a better Artist, you have to put in the time and effort of learning artistic skills to produce better art.

Done with this community, you guys suck.
Shouldn't SAI be in the list of free ones?
Photoshop CS2 is free, I use it
The past makes you wanna die out of regret, and future makes you depressed out of anxiety. So by elimination, the present is likely the happiest time.
