Coming from the free software of firealpaca i love it

FireAlpaca SE, genuinely my favourite art program which ive been using for literal years since early highschool and i've tried quite a fair bit to try and find the thing that works for me. And this works for me, i only got the paid version to support the creators because this is worth it to me.

here are some positives that i think some people may overlook besides saying that the paid version only has dark mode
Unlike the free version, the paid version has liquidfy tool
a far better brush engine then the free version and has far much more options
Constant updates which you can update alot easier on steam instead of having to go redownload the new version on the website
And one of the best support ive seen, they respond and fix any issues that come up with their program. When i brought up an issue on one of their posts it was only a few days later was that said issue fixed

So i really do recommend this if you have the budget to spare, because honestly both free and paid are that good

I've been using the free version for years after giving up paint tool sai sometime 2017? I bought the full version mainly just for the fact it has dark mode. Easy to transfer all my old brushes, files, palettes, etc. from the free to full version. No issues with the application at all since getting it! I absolutely love how easy it is to use, the animation mode is wonderful, I love the brush shop, I cannot recommend a better drawing app than this one. (Especially coming from someone who has tried out so many of them in the past)
