Back in 2017 I bought a Wacom Cintiq tablet for 3D sculpting (connected to the last iMac with an NVIDIA GPU).
The Cintiq didn't deliver the experience I hoped for, so I soon sold it again, but I did enjoy running the legendary Deluxe Paint pixel editor on it, via the FS-UAE Amiga emulator.
From the late 1980s to the late 1990s I used "DPaint" on a daily basis, creating graphics for games, demos, TV shows and commercials. ❤
@metin DPaint IV ... my first love from the Amiga500. It was so legendary that i remember specifically that I wanted to get it on my first PC and somehow managed to get a hold of a second hand disk version but it wasn't the one with the animator in it yet.
Also the first 3D game engine I tried to learn besides modding Duke3D mentioned in the book that DPaint was pretty much the perfect drawing program.
*sigh - the memories
I've also worked with the peculiar MS-DOS version of DPaint ("II Enhanced"). It was the first version that supported 256 colors, before DPaint IV AGA was released.
My favorite pixel editor these days is a pretty faithful recreation of DPaint, called @PyDPainter …
