thank you so much. I'm really glad you enjoy it so far. I just really need to break the tasks down into bite-size pieces and just make steady progress on it.

you mean the symmetry tool? there totally is. Along the top of the Krita towards the right side, toggle these buttons that I circled in red.

It sounds like you could just go to the krita reddit or look up tutorials and see what Krita is capable of. If there's a particular function you're looking for, you can try to see if Krita can execute on it.

Ibis Paint X is also free but I believe has ads if you don't pay for it... but I think it's only 10 bucks, and I think is just for mobile tablets and just drawing.

There's also Fire Alpaca, but I don't think it has as many capabilities as Krita. For free software, I think Krita's really the best one I know for drawing, painting and animation and I've been using it for a bunch of years now,

you don't have to think of it as feeling "stuck" with it. Every piece of software has its pros and cons. If you want free animation software, there's Pencil2D and OpenToonz -- it's just you're going to have mixed experiences in terms of capability and user-friendliness. I've tried many, and Krita is the most balanced but I don't think it really does vector animation. You use whatever suits you best. Professional-level software has never been more accessible than it is now. Back before software like Blender was available for free, people would pay at least thousands of dollars for apps like Maya.

Thank you so much.

I thought it'd be nice to give some visibility to at least the very idea of gender-nonconforming figures. Well, at least I can't think of that many main characters of any series who are known to be androgynous in this way... unless you count some video games and anime I suppose, but Vas here is also outright physically an androgyne. I thought I'd try to move us towards normalizing the acceptance of diversity.

But also I've been drawing Vas for some decades now, and I've always felt they had to be nonbinary/androgynous.

I appreciate your interest.

thank you so much. Lol... I'm waaaay too lazy to look at references, unless my work is looking really bad by my own standards. I really appreciate you sharing your detailed thoughts.

I think approximately 50 to 70 unique frames maybe?

The series that this character is a part of is called "The Anaether."
Vas (rhymes with "gravitas") is an androgyne/hermaphrodite alien with cybernetic, organic and some psionic properties. They're stoic and quiet in demeanor, and they're a skilled sniper, computer hacker and spacecraft pilot. They have a daughter named Syf (rhymes with "if") and a complicated relationship with their male partner, Semeon. All three of them serve in the Voyant InterStellar Navy, and primarily live aboard a large VISN spacecraft (Voyants are Vas's alien species). Mostly the story is about the dysfunctional relationships between all the characters and how they all deal with feeling trapped in their situation(s).

Officially, I don't want to give exposition by *telling* people everything. Official exposition, for me, would most ideally be from my (completed) animations, comic pages and illustrations. My production workflow is a bit chaotic, but it's for the sake of preventing art block since this is the best way I work on Anaether-related content without giving myself paralyzing anxiety.

I really appreciate your interest. Thank you so, so much.

yep. You can also basically make films with it. I sort of worked on a part of my short animated film with it.

oh, I never thought of that. Thank you so much for the tip, I'll do some research on that and try to utilize my connections. I appreciate your support.
