@bradcolbow It's hard not to be cynical. Almost all this sites started this way then the enshittification starts once the bills come knocking down the door.
I think people should still use it - i think its more artstation , I'm not at that level so I'm just gonna drop by for inspiration.
I have a ready defense for this lol. I also happen to be a 3d modeler so ... i end up making my own base and background. (Because i tend to get tired drawing background but happen to like modeling them) whichever is easier.
We take picture of body kun as reference.
I recently saw someone comment on one of my favorite artist's post "arent you cheating by using a 3D base?"
His reply was golden "Idc, I know that with more time and effort I could've done without it. For my sanity's sake and keeping interest in art, I'll continue on using it."
@DukeTheGrammer Yep. I tested the branch and I think it's understatement I shed tears of joy at seeing the incoming text tool in action.
Still on pre alpha branch and is in the road map for 5.3
Good news is that it's going to be way better in 5.3. The preview showed in Krita Artist forum is promising. on Canvas editing, different font/ styling/ sizes in one line of text and alot of other option. Pretty big rewrite honestly.
