Turns out the creator of McZee's last name is McPhee 😆 I'm glad i finally have a person i can thank for the early inspiration and my first drawing software (and of course 3D Movie Maker which we all loved)

Man.. people are sleeping on Artstudio Pro. This is like the closest feel to photoshop (and CSP)
I just realize again, why I can’t get used with Procreate.. there are no magic wand tool, to select per color.
Yeah, Procreate have the automatic selection but it sucks tho..

Quite honestly if i had too much time on my hands i would learn Decker and make adventure games using nothing but that.

Okay, FINALLY back to this little adventure game i'm working on. I decided to do some rigs for the secondary characters to speed things up. The crazy cat is pretty much ready.
Moho luckily allows for aliased exports so i can integrate them quite seamlessly.
