after watching this, I decided to try it out myself- and it can be fun!

Take your username and put it in here: http://binarytranslator.com/

Then take the result and put it in here: http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/binary-to-hex-converter

Separate the result into as many six-character chunks as possible, and put them here: https://www.colorcodehex.com/5a6f72/

And then make an image using those colors.

My username, zoreta, gets two similar grays:

Meanwhile, my friend leninmeringuepie gets a pretty indigo and a minty green:

Try it!

Ha! I think we got the same colors.

Close! The two I used as an example are 3632B7 and 34B736

The 1st, 3rd and 5th digits have the strongest effect (think of 10s place vs 1s place for a percentage), so they end up looking very similar- only a couple of shades different.

Interesting. Mine is also a similar blue and green.

HOLY FREE ART PROGRAMS BATMAN

giovannuzza:

I’ve had this list sitting around for a while (in case I ever want to try something new) and I thought I’d share it, because why the hell not, everybody loves free stuff. I’ve only used a couple, so for all I know these could be complete shit. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, RIGHT?

*= available for both windows and mac os

GIMP * – Does a lot of the same stuff as Photoshop.

FireAlpaca * – Similar to Paint Tool Sai, so it’s a good alternative for Mac users.

Autodesk Sketchbook Copic Edition * – Simulates the look of copic markers.

MyPaint * – Basic stuff, nothing fancy.

Pinta * – Drawing program modeled after paint.NET.

Inkscape * – Vector/drawing program meant to be similar to Illustrator.

ArtRage * – Digital painting program; you can get the trimmed down version for free or buy the full version with more features.

Sumo Paint * – In-browser drawing app.

DAZ Studio * – Some sort of 3D model poser thing.

Pencil * – Software for animating.

SketchUp * – Tool for making 3D models. Looks handy for stuff like architectural drawings.

Blender * – Pretty popular 3D software.

escape motions * – Some browser apps, fun to fiddle with when you’re bored (the fluid fire simulation is pretty cool imo).

Twistedbrush (Pixarra) – Seems to be meant for replicating the look of traditional media.

Pixia/Phierha – A popular program in Japan, according to the website.

Krita – This was originally made for Linux and it looks like the developers haven’t ironed out all of the kinks in the Windows installer.

Artweaver – Another trimmed down free thing if you don’t want to buy the full program.

paint.NET – Pretty basic kit, probably good for simple stuff.

Project Dogwaffle – I’m not sure what this one is all about because I couldn’t stop laughing at the terrible website.

Speedy Painter – Lightweight digital painting program.

mtPaint – Originally made for pixel art; simple enough to run on older computers.

Chasys Draw IES – Supposed to be some sort of drawing+image editor thing.

PaintRibbon – Seems to be another plain old basic image editor.

DrawPlus – Looks like it’s made for graphic design and vector stuff.

SmoothDraw – I’m guessing this is a basic thing for people who don’t want to bother with complicated stuff.
