What program do you guys use for your game art?

[Spazkid1997]

I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what program Ironhide Studios is using to make their characters and other in-game art. I've looked everywhere for a flash drawing studio and came out every time empty handed. Someone please help!

Quoting Julian: "Gonzasan uses the program 'Flash' and a drawing tablet."

Flash CS5, a Wacom Tablet and childish drawing skills

Dang... Flash CS5?! That's steep; it costs like $700 in USD. Man, I wish I could find something less expensive that is still almost as effective, or at least better at drawing circles than Microsoft Paint. I'm not looking at animation just yet; but I would like some sort of freeware (or at least something under $50 in USD) that can draw more effectively than Microsoft Paint can.

Gimp is quite nice, as is Paint.NET... they are both free to use ^^

Unfortunately you can never draw a true circle. But you should already know that.

Inkscape is nice if you like smooth lines and vector images, but since I'm a noob at digital art you can conveniently ignore me.

Unfortunately you can't draw any true regular shape

Really? I guess I understand for those with lots of lines and angles, but what about rhombus'.

Um... The rhombus is not a regular shape. Regular shapes are polygons with all sides and angles being congruent (the same).

Although you are of course right if you would take what I said literally,
I meant the following with regular shapes; every shape you draw that is
meant to have a certain shape. In other words; every shape you draw
which is not drawn randomly. Why can't you draw these? Because even,
for an example, a line drawn on the computer which seems perfectly
straight, still isn't straight on a molecular or even atomic level. It is
impossible to line up millions of atoms, resulting in the right colour for
your line, with angles of exactly 180 degrees between every pair of atoms ^^

Oh, ok then you should have just said shapes.
Sorry for the confusion.

i've read from an indy dev that this shareware is a good program for pixel art and animation:
iconXP

@ TheHallMonitor
So a totally randomly drawn thing can't be called a shape?
I thought shape wouldn't be clear enough as I meant to
talk about any shapes with a pre-defined... shape C:

Well, the site says it is specifically meant for creating icons.
So I wonder if it has any purpose for pixel art and animation?

A rhombus is a shape... A square is just a straight rhombus.

I was talking about a regular shape, but nvm, I misunderstood Julian.

[Epicazeroth]

Actually, I would say that something like the Star of David is not a shape, just a symbol, as it has lines through it.
