Migrating art programs!
8 years ago
I'm officially going to be moving all my commissions from SAI into Photoshop. PS has a lot more options with what it can do, and the work has a somewhat more naturalistic feel in the end. I will still use SAI if requested, but during normal operations, I'll be using it only for ref sheet commissions since they are intended to look "digitally perfect", and the stabilizer helps with that.
The style difference is not huge, but it's a little more organic and emotive feeling to use PS in my opinion. SAI has limited tools and they're less robust. SAI's big strength is in hyper-perfect, "digital" lineart, but I personally prefer the somewhat more loose lines PS offers. You can still request SAI for that lineart quality, but I will be defaulting to PS for the future. Depending how this turns out, there may be a price raise coming in the future because of the extra options I can use to apply texture and rendering that I wouldn't be able to use before. Seeing as it's better-looking and more time-consuming, I think that's fair.

I've been using PS for certain things already, but I'm going to be making the change for everything now! (except refs)
I expect it'll be fine, but if anyone is diametrically opposed to this for whatever reason, please let me know why so I can take it into consideration.
