This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

People who promote gimp likely never actually tried to use that piece of shit. Try Krita instead, holy fuck is it so much better as a useable piece of art software.

I learned Photoshop in high school, then tried to use Gimp in college. What a fucking disaster of a program.

Krita is not a replacement for Photoshop though. There is a difference between a software to draw and a software for image manipulation.

by the same logic, neither is gimp.
