My most recent art; "Samson Junior." The events around Samson in the Book of Judges in Holy Scriptures has fascinated me my entire life. For this illustration I wanted to portray the strength and wildness of Samson at a more youthful age. I like this work even though I faced challenges doing it with the software I was using.
This will be my last work done in Clip Studio Paint. In full disclosure it's not really finished. I abandoned it weeks ago. During my active work on it I experienced this bug in the program where it didn't work right with the auto save function. It required shutting down the app and rebooting it constantly. It was more than a little frustrating. It made it impossible to work on the art.
Then a few weeks later; it was time to renew the subscription. Clip Studio Paint sent numerous reminders for me to renew at the regular price of $72 per year. And, that's a little steep for me. I'm only using it part time for fun and it was not working right and was not fun. The deadline passed without me renewing. Then they offered me to resign up for half off! That just rubbed me the wrong way. It's a nice program but it's just too expensive. And, the prospect of going through an annual shakedown for what will probably be a rising rate; no thanks.
I have been look at the other options for making art on my cell phone. There are several good ones. Almost all of them were designed for desktop computers and have been adapted to mobile platforms. One out there was designed for mobile devices running Android; Infinite Painter! Which is what I will be trying next. It seems pretty good so far and comes for the ONE time price of $9.99!! I look forward to sharing something from this app with you in the future.
