I
have worked in Digital Arts and Media for many years, written and
published
books on 3D and fantasy art, particularly focusing on the art of
texturing
and painting characters and creating backdrops. As such I have of
course
used just about any program out there you can imagine.
I find that
Dogwaffle is a fascinating paint program, with a wealth of tools and
filters.
Not only is it a welcome addition to my other professional programs, it
is also a lot of fun and a productive tool. This didn't come as a
surprise
though, considering that Dogwaffle is being developed by a professional
animator, who knows exactly what kinds of tools and features he needs
himself
in such a production environment.
While there
are a few things left on my wish list for future enhancements of
Dogwaffle,
I feel that anyone interested in painting or drawing fantasy art on a
tight
budget should consider taking a good look at Dogwaffle 1.5 and at the
very
least check out the free version 1.11b.
