Kala Paint is out!
I'm @ollylawson, professional artist for 15 years, then game dev, now wrote the painting software I wish I'd been using all this time.
GPU-run brushes, no subscription, no gen AI crap, hand-coded with ideas from artists in our Discord, and more added weekly!
If you are looking a way out of Adobe hellscape, my friend @ollylawson has been making his own painting program Kala, it's insanely optimized, blazing fast, has most of the features you need from other big software + new and inventive stuff, no-subscriptions, it's great.
