Krita actually was one of the first programs that implemented multi-layer liquify (yes, before CSP.) It has its issues tho. For example the text tool is quite tedious to use (and sometimes just gives plain wrong kernings)
I got into Krita a year or two ago and I've been thoroughly impressed. Kudos to the development team. I'm particularly happy with its wacom support; the radial menu is something I miss profoundly in Affinity. (I also love Affinity but for different reasons; and yes, there's a system-wide wacom radial menu under Windows, but it's not as good as Krita's.)
I once got a wacom-like tablet but I always wondered how does one learn to use it? And specially using software like Krita or MyPaint in Linux. I mean, supposing you can already draw with pen and paper. But I found it to be somewhat different, and I could never get used to. Maybe it's the lack of practice but also seeing almost no progress made me abandon. Any advice would be appreciated
Try starting with a piece of paper taped onto your tablet to reproduce a grabbier, more fricative surface.
Similarly, when working with good old fashioned graphite on paper, try smoother grades of paper, including "rite in the rain" style polymer-sheet paper. This will help you transfer the muscle memory in a stepwise fashion.

Your verbiage makes it sound concerning, but if it's the following image[0] then I don't see how anyone could misconstrue it with lolita culture. It looks like something you'd see in a Studio Ghibli film. [0] https://krita.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/electrichearts_...
The visible garters aren’t a clue? Yes the visual style might be similar to Ghibli, in the sense that it’s anime, but see if you can find a shot from any of their films with garters under a skirt. That’s only one of the Krita splash screens. If you look at all of them, the suggestiveness is relatively consistent though not exactly the same from version to version. Speaking only personally, I can imagine how this imag…

While no garders, Kiki's Delivery Service has plenty of pantie shots far cringier than a pair of garters.
As far as Kiki’s Delivery Service goes, Googling it, people online tend to point out that the shots are of bloomers, not panties per-se. It’s not a sexualized symbol like garters are. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0097814/parentalguide/nudity
As a long-time user and supporter of Krita, I'm thrilled to see it mentioned here. However, I must express my concern about the choice of emphasizing "FREE" in all caps in this headline. While I understand that the cost-free nature of open-source software is certainly appealing, I feel that this particular framing could cheapen the overall value proposition of Krita. Krita has much more to offer than just being free.…
I recommended Krita to my wife for digital drawing, and Krita stands ahead in the realm of "open source software that is usable by non-maintainers". Maintainers used loosely as people who participate in the community, filing bug reports and providing forum support. If you look at something like FreeCAD, equally powerful but not nearly as user friendly, you need to want to use FreeCAD specifically. With Krita, you jus…

Thankfully the cartoon images don't share problematic aspects in common, such as coming from an old playboy shoot. They're not even suggestive of that.
Unfortunately some people still don’t care for these particular cartoon images for whatever reason as evidenced by multiple requests to disable the splash screen, here and elsewhere on the internet. If you believe strongly that these images are neutral and appropriate for work, by all means, show them!

Holy cow, project much? These complaints about a... "squirrel girl mascot" where you give graphic descriptions about body parts says more about you than the images/authors. "The dude doth protest too much, methinks"
Why are the comments getting more flippant, more incredulous, and more unreasonable despite there being lots of discussion already explaining the nuanced and fairly uncontroversial point of view that squirrel girl isn’t the single most appropriate image for a workplace? I’m not alone, and this isn’t the first conversation about Krita’s splash screens being mildly unprofessional. Nobody here is claiming the pictures a…
As I do general puritanism.

> As a long-time user and supporter of Krita, How does Krita compare to GIMP?
No the parent comment but I can answer this. They're quite different. Krita is more about digital painting and GIMP is more about photo processing. If you're familiar with CSP and Photoshop, Krita is more like CSP and GIMP is more like Photoshop. Specifically, Krita has a much more sophisticated brush engine.

Spoiler warning, all .NET programs can be decompiled. This includes many Unity games.
Decompilation is not the same as source availability. Any binary can be converted into source that will compile back into a (nearly) equivalent binary. Whether that source code is economically viable to use in some derivative work is an entirely different question. It might be easier for .NET binaries to be decompiled but the point still remains that machine generated source code is not the same as human generated so…
You are left with something highly readable that will build correctly. Unlike native code disassemblies which need to guess at data types and stack usage.
