Do you know what would make me very happy?
It is seeing other creatives using #ArtwithOpenSource tag.
Do you use open source software in your art, photography, music, film, games? Consider tagging? Maybe? Please? :)
For the record, my most public clipart is posted at https://openclipart.org/user-detail/algotruneman
It is all in the public domain and created with Inkscape on Kubuntu/Linux
I also attempt a daily illustration for a word of the day (which gets posted here among other places).
@eylul Sure I do! It's mostly Aseprite for pixels and Krita for some everyday image work, though I must say my heart belongs to ClipStudio for any kind of digital drawing and illustration right now.
@eylul I made the things at this link with InkScape, and it is in a tiddlywiki. Both of them are open source. #ArtwithOpenSource

@eylul I use 100% free software for art creation, mostly Blender.
I use proprietary software for programming though.
@eylul ah, apologies, I completely misread that. Yes, I'd enjoy knowing who uses FOSS tools like gimp too.
@eylul I use open source for all my art. The only closed source program I use is for my video editing, and even then it was supposed to go open source. I just never thought to add that tag. I'll try and rember in the future. Thanks For the heads up. ^_^
Oh and here's the programs I use.
Krita, Blender 3D, Inkscape, Audacity.
@LuxBrush Why not use blender for video editing side? I am asking this because I don't have very advanced needs for video editing I do, and I do seem to keep writing and speaking about making art with open source, so I am actually curious where it falls short. :)
@eylul It's slow when it comes to rendering out the final product for me. Well with the last version I tried video editing on anyways. I also remember it being slow in some other areas as well. I haven't tried using the latest version for video editing. I just don't have the time right now to try it out to see if it now fits into my workflow.
@LuxBrush Yeah I am really not sure how fast it is compared to everything else. So what do you use for video editing? if you don't mind me asking?
@eylul I don't mind at all. I use a program called Lightworks. It has a minimum free version that does all I need a video editor do and it has the best autosave system I've ever encountered. It's so good in fact that the program doesn't even have a save button. You just start a project, start working and finish. I've never lost any work. I wish more programs used a similar system.
@LuxBrush You know, on paper (on screen?) it sounds actually worse (it saves without me asking? Oh no!) but now that I think of it, Darktable does the exact same thing, and it really helps with fluidity of the workflow. Interesting!
#ArtWithOpenSource for all!
Would using open source art tools generally encourage the use of use-friendly licensing of the created works, or is the art more often produced for the creator's ability to sell it?
@eylul Good plan! I do all my digital mandalas in Krita and vectorise them with Inkscape \o/
@eylul alas I spent far too long learning adobe products to change.
Borderless (http://borderless.online) is just one of my projects that qualifies for interactive #ArtWithOpenSource. Not possible without the open source Kinect tools! (h/t @eylul)
@celesteh thanks! You remember correctly; Apple bought Primesense and shut it down. I'm using other Kinect libraries for OS X > TSPS (http://tsps.cc) > my own Clojure software.
I remember reading that the kinect actually does human-recognition internally, but it's locked behind some microsoft API. Is this actually true?
@eylul - OK I will try to remember. I use only open source software for my works.
I use Gimp for all my image editing!
@eylul #ArtWithOpenSource also I use pencils which I think are open source as well
@eylul Excellent idea! Been having a blast with #SonicPi and #PureData. It'd be fun to promote the creative side of #FreeSoftware.
@eylul I use Inkscape to make drawings, and also the Gimp for image postprocessing. Usually the pics I post aren't post-processed, but I like the idea of the tag, will definitely use it.
@eylul There is the whole Free/Libre vs Open Source thing which might make it hard for some people to choose your suggestion. Maybe FLOSSART? Or tagging the software you do the artwork with is pretty straightforward (atleast for me).
@frd We can have multiple tags! and of course nobody should feel pressured to tag! :)
For context #artwithOpenSource started as something I tagged my own art with, I suppose I did want something that wasn't an acronym (not everybody knows what FLOSS stands for) but there wasn't a giant thought process that went to it or anything. :D
The whole point is to highlight works created using FLOSS/FOSS/Open source software, and maybe inspire other artists to use them too. :)
@eylul Sure!
@eylul #artwithopensource is the only art I make.
@eylul I do use for my music and some photography, but not exclusively at the moment for lack of some tools, though I'd very much like too #artWithOpenSource
@eylul #ArtwithOpenSource - I use exclusively open source software for my sound and digital art, in fact a fair portion of the software I wrote myself ;)
@eylul
The only problem with my using #artwithopensource is that my clipart cannot be described as "art".
That said. Where should the hashtag go as a routine, into each toot or just relevant ones or in profile?
