I hate subscriptions. To Photoshop, to Maya to CSP…
So i build my own app that combines all 3 in one.
Super lightweight and made for digital artists.
Pay once and own it forever.

It is called Elqori and will be available on Steam on 25th September.

I used to love Clip Studio Paint but 90% of that app is just ‘extra’ for me.
In my app Elqori i took the beat part of CSP and made it into a workflow.

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

Bye bye Adobe Photoshop.
Hello Elqori !!!!

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

Since I draw just with Elqori instead of Photoshop, my productivity jumped through the roof.
Literally screw subscriptions forever…

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

I finally escaped subscription hell with Elqori.

@WomanDefiner It literally shows UK and Ireland...

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

@MattWalshBlog Dude nobody in the world cares of who that guy was, how self cantered can tou be ffs… you’re living in a bubble

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

@NetflixUK Not everybody knows or cares about Charlie Kirk. This is Netflix UK and Ireland.. why would people there give a shit about some guy

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

@Chobisupaida2 Blender is focused on modelling and vfx. You cannot use brushes to make illustrations, for that you have Photoshop ( for digital painting) but Adobe is subscription based and will remain like that forever. CSP is also subscription based.

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

I don’t think artists should need 5 subscriptions to make one piece of art.

That’s basically the reason Elqori exists.

Painting + animation + 3D reference tools.

One purchase.

Keep the software.

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

@MarioNawfal There is no amount of law and order out there from stopping me to make that guy a pancake

@SydneyLWatson The bullet receivers had enervated the trigger pullers

September 25.

That’s when I finally put Elqori into people’s hands.

It’s still early.
I’m still building.
There’s a LOT I want to add.

But the idea isn’t changing:

Create without renting your tools.

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

I’m building Elqori as an independent developer and artist.

No giant company behind it.
No subscription strategy.
No attempt to lock your work behind a monthly payment.

Just a creative tool I want to make genuinely good.

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

One of the things I’m most excited about with Elqori is 3D.

Not because I’m trying to build Blender.

I want artists to quickly build or pose something in 3D, bring it into their scene, and DRAW OVER IT.

3D as a tool for 2D artists.

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

Elqori started with a pretty simple idea:

I want to own the creative software I use.

No monthly payment just to keep opening my work.

So I’m building my own.

Elqori launches September 25.

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

Photoshop for painting.
Another app for animation.
Another one for 3D reference.

Why?

I’m building Elqori to bring those workflows together.

Draw. Animate. Pose in 3D. Paint over it.

One app. One purchase. No subscription.

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

While everyone is using AI for art , I suppose I am doubling down on actual artists so I build an app that replaces the crazy Photoshop subscription fees with basically the same but one time payment.
I build Elqori for all of us to stop waste money on apps we actually need

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

Elqori is coming September 25.

🎨 Digital painting
🎞️ 2D animation
🧊 3D posing & reference
💳 One purchase
🚫 No subscription

I’m building the creative tool I actually want to own.

[Vlad Buculei @vladbuculei]

I wanted one place where I could draw, animate, and use 3D references without constantly jumping between different apps.

So I started building it.

It’s called Elqori.

2D • Animation • 3D

Made independently, for artists.
