(krita's mascott, kiki the cybersquirrel, drawn and designed by tyson tan)

its kinda wild that such wonderful drawing software with so many nice features is just OUT THERE, for FREE, and it isnt run by a corporation whose sole motive is profit, who is slowly running their userbase into the ground, and its not a weird walled garden, it feels so nice to use, theres numerous gorgeous brush packs people make for it, also for free or for a few bucks on gumroad.

it is straight up miraculous that krita exists, basically as just a gift to the world. you can just download it and always have it and draw to your heart's content, and they cant turn around and make you pay a subscription for it, or be connected to the internet to use it.

i like krita so much that i pay the krita foundation money every month, not because i have to, but just because i WANT to. i use it a LOT, i have illustrated a whole ass zine in krita, and i want good nonprofit drawing software to keep existing in the world.

also the lead dev is trans, and thats based.

sucks that I can't even recommend krita to my friends that don't already use it because I can't just say "Use this thing that you have no idea to use", because it's just different enough that it's "too different" and, for most average people, would be a deal breaker, because they'll just pirate A Certain Stankware anyway even though this is entirely free/won't get you in trouble/something something software that is ethical

It's such a good app though. 😔
