The free trial version of Clip Studio nearly equates to the fully licensed program without saving or loading, so I downloaded it. My immediate assumption was that it is only $50 for a reason, something along the lines of SAI’s limited support or lack of Photoshop-like filters.
Not bad, but so does Paint Tool SAI, give or take. (All of our other game artists do, but I require the hand-eye disconnect.) However, any associate’s suggestion is worth looking into, so I decided to check it out.įirst things first, how’s the price? Clip Studio Paint sells online for $50. Wescom’s recommendation, especially since I don’t even use a Cintiq. I figured I didn’t need it, I already had the biggest, most expensive art program out there (because when you’re sixteen-years-old, cost correlates directly to quality, apparently.) I’d had no personal experience with the tools or features. I only have a vague memory of hearing second-hand reports that it was a good inking program, but that was it. Having grown up in the digital art scene, I had heard of what was known as solely Manga Studio back in the day. The pressure response on a Cintiq is greatly superior to Photoshop and the cost is much better.”
“You should look into Clip Studio Paint (Manga Studio) by Smith Micro Software. And then a comment came in on our LinkedIn page from one Kirk Wescom. The feedback was largely positive and I gave myself a small pat on the back for a job well done. In a previous blog post The Game Artist’s Arsenal, I covered our game artists’ most-used programs: Paint Tool SAI, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Animate (Flash.) Listed were each of the softwares’ pros and cons, along with general prices to help inform prospective artists.
