Which art program do you use?

I use CS5 and I just made this

I currently have adobe photoshop elements 6.0 and Corel Painter essentials 4. Only because they came with my Wacom tablet. If the other programs you guys are using are MUCH better than these can you send me some links to download?

KrushaI use a combination of Gimp, Photoshop, Illustrator and MSPaint.

same here except GIMP though i hear its decent i dont really think i need it after having photoshop, illustrator, and ms paint

Honestly I use both Gimp and PhotoShop, yes...I didnt exactly buy it...

most of the art I make I use is Poser 8, Vue 8 and Photoshop CS4

I use Photoshop CS2. And yes, its pirated. It works pretty nice.

a cracked cs5 pretty sweet

I just started using the Real-Deal (aka not pirated) photoshop cs4, dont ask me about cs5, they didnt have it at the store i went to.

well.... i pirated CS5, but i never use it.... ::)

Paint all the way!
though i usually only sprite on it
at school we use illustrator and i use flash and the print scr button at home

Im still using good ol CS4,thinking of upgrading but can any one tell me what the new features are?

CS5 have smoother default brushes, I think. I use CS5 myself, and it does FEEL a lot smoother than CS4. They've also added a few more brushes in the hopes that it'll come up to corel painter with it's 'realism'.I like Corel Painter too, but meh. Still haven't learned to use it well. @_@

I dunno if it's worth it. the only notable difference is the object awareness thing.

Laughingstock stock even photoshop 7 would be worth getting for you... since u use paint!
there are alot of other things in CS5 other then the object awareness, alot more userfriendly there is also 3d effect you can now use in it, and alot more tools i cant remember right now

Lol. I DO have photoshop 7.Photoshop doesn't automatically make you better.

it does make your work look better, anyone can see at 1st glance that its ms paint, with photoshop you are making your linework ALOT more crisp, unlike the shitty pixely lines of ms paint

I don't think you know much about digital art.Photoshop isn't for "crispiness", Adobe Illustrator or Flash would be your best choices for "crispiness".Photoshop is for image manipulation.
Just because it's a bit pixelly doesn't automatically make it crap.
