You might enjoy Juzo-kun's Linux-tans. He drew distros that included retro systems like Knoppix and Mandriva back when they were current. I have a great hunger for FOSS artwork and when I found his collection I was very pleased :)

Oh no! Unfortunately the only Debian I've got is based on how discriminating the OS development is. So you'd have to be the one to make her the lunch (and she may judge it harshly).

Thank you! Although it's currently pretty bare I do technically have a mastodon. If I post more linux-related stuff in the future it will probably be on there 😚

Or something like that! A traditional lady who might be a necromancer in her free time ;p

I do have a nix pic actually! :D

I haven't done as much traditional art as of late, but I've heard good things about Ohuhu? The price per marker is much better than my ol' faithful Copic sets and apparently the color range/depth is quite good.

Hehe I love the bolt as a bird perch! These seasons are all so cute 😄

A very stylish, handsome boy! He looks bookish, perhaps an fan of John Steinbark or Ray Bonebury? ^ . ^

This is really cool! It looks like he hosted a lecture on narrative illustration and I absolutely see it in this picture, like I keep looking around to hunt for more context. Plus the title is very intriguing :)

And there's the issue of tablet pressure! As an amateur artist I was ok with most of the peculiarities of Ps on Wine (even the weird full-screen deal that you mentioned), but even after extensive tinkering it would only register my Wacom pen strokes as single spots or full-pressure lines. Apparently this bug is pretty old, and the underlying problem is way more difficult to solve than it first seems (esp to a linux noob like me). I've heard photoshop cs2 can avoid this bug (and it worked fine for me) but that version of Ps looks very different than what I'm used to, having been a longtime cs6 and cc user.

I ended up mainly using SAI on that system--which ran very well on Wine--but it has fewer bells and whistles and there are certain tools like liquify that don't offer the same degree of control in Krita or GIMP (as far as I could tell). If my laptop hadn't been struggling so much, I think I probably would've shifted more towards Krita but somehow it ran much worse on the linux system than the previous windows system, regardless of which version I tried. It's a difficult problem to troubleshoot if you don't know tech stuff very well - . -
