I forgot to mention that Grafx2, a pixel art program from the 90s, has
recently gotten an update and works splendidly with both animation and
layers. No need for using the now closed source Aseprite. I could only
get the opensource version in ports to work on GhostBSD. The Linux
binary and the Windows binaries both crashed or didn't work properly.
But as I stated the 27th, I have refound ArtGem! So with Grafx2 and
ArtGem I feel quite at home and like I did when I was a teenager
drawing all the time. I do have my Wacom working fine but it's not, of
course, transferring the pressure sensitivity through Wine. That
wouldn't matter with ArtGem anyways. Maybe that's the programming
project that I should tackle. A modern recreation of ArtGem, a raster
image editor just ahead of pixel art programs. It really gets the
sweet spot of control vs the tools.
