Several Final Fantasy fan art threads have sprung up recently in addition to MiNuN's long standing unique media thread and Denmo's comic strip, but I didn't want to hijack anyone's thread with comments and questions that were off topic. So I started another one.
I'll wait for you all to finish groaning.
Ok, done? Cool.
First of all, thank you to everyone who shares their creative Final Fantasy themed work with us. It is so enjoyable to see people's Final Fantasy drawings, art work, and comics. I love that we have so many creative people in this community. You guys are truly awesome.
Though I lack the bravery to share my work with this forum like some others have done, especially considering the amazing talent that comes through here, drawing happens to be a hobby of mine. But I was thinking that since there are so many artists here, I wanted to start a thread to talk about what people use to make their FFXIV fan art.
In particular, I'm curious what digital art program(s) everyone uses. I'm a HUGE fan of Manga Studio. I also really like Corel Painter. Never was a big fan of Photoshop, personally, though I know that is usually the program of choice for many digital artists.
Also, for tablet users: I'm interested to know what kinds of tablets people use. I've been using a VisTablet for several years now. It was my first. Before that I was scanning in pencil sketches to ink and color on my computer with keyboard and mouse. I bought the VisTablet over a Wacom simply because it was cheaper but it actually turned out to be a pretty good tablet and I've never regretted the decision.
So what about you guys? What do you use to create your Final Fantasy art? Discuss!
