Description
Project: Krita, free and open-source digital painting software krita.org/Character: Kiki the Cyber Squirrel, the mascot of Krita
Description:
This is the early design of Kiki, before she was properly named and gaining her pink color. This version was used in the introduction booklet of Krita 2.6.
Artist's comments:
(2017-07-31) When I first used Krita 2.4 back in 2012, I thought its UX design was very smart, but the software itself was slow, unstable and lack of feature. I tolerated those problems, mostly because of Richard M. Stallman's teaching. 5 years later, Krita is now a powerful tool. Without it, some of my works could not have been finished as high quality as they were. Krita has covered a lot way, so has its mascot Kiki and me. I really appreciate its developers for building, and its community for supporting such amazing free software tool for artists.
(2013-02-17) Clean up, reworked outline, a few modification on the clothes, description update.
(2013-01-02) The mascot character I designed for Krita the free and open source digital painting application. This character is a squirrel android, the choice of her species was inspired by Krita's community discussion. I haven't named her yet, but feel like to name her "Krystine".
Around May 2012 I left Microsoft Windows and other proprietary software altogether and went GNU/Linux. Since then Krita has been my main primary drawing program. It has an innovative user interactive design and a powerful natural brush system. If you are a GNU/Linux user, Krita should be available from your software center. There is also an experimental build for Windows users. Check out Krita's website krita.org/ to find out how to get it.
David has made many tutorials and resources for Krita, available on his website www.davidrevoy.com/ . If you are new to Krita, make sure to visit his place for some useful tips and brushes!

Holy shit you know how to use Krita...It was too complex for me to use so i moved onto FireAlpaca.

i'm a beginner, so it can be overwhelming, but over time you can get used to the interface of Krita. The similarities to Photoshop and the pros are MUCH worth it!

This is AMAZING! Your art is literally the best I've EVER seen, seriously, I love it all!~ <3

darling you wouldn't happen t know what kind of file to save your krita art work as so you can submit it on deviant art would you? ^^'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
File >> Export as .jpg or .png
Don't save your working file that way though. The default .kra keeps layer and is way faster.

Hello there,
I hope you can answer my simliar question too.
I have the 3.0 version and no matter as what I export or save it, it still keeps only viewable with Krita or ends up as a long code.
The only way to make it "useable" is to make a screanshot and cut it out, but that's not the way.
I hope you can help me, and sorry for my little english vocabulary.

A file name looks like this: "abcdef.xxx" , it has 2 parts. The ".xxx" part is called extension, it describes what the file format is. You have to rename it accordingly to save as a specific format. To save as PNG, you must name the file as: "abcdef.png".

Thank you very much, maybe you could tell how to cut too.
I searched the whole program and found some phases wich had to do with cutting, but no one did anything,
And the the phrase "cut sharp" isn't openable
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You must SELECT something to CUT.
The Selection tools are located at the 5th row from bottom of the Tool Box.
After a selection is established, use Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+X to cut and Ctrl+V to paste.
The pasted content will be on a new layer.
You can use Transform Tool or Move tool from the middle of the tool box to move and manipulate them.

Thank you very very much,
But I have one last question, I somehow deleted the section on the right side where you could see all brushes, the colours and the layers.
I tried it with : Settings- docking- layers... but I only got the colour back.
The brushes are not so the problem, I can change them on other menues, but I woud like to have something again where I could see and change the layers.
At the moment I couldn't find any possibility to see them again.

Settings >> Dockers >> Brush Preset
If it's checked, look at the right column of your Krita window more carefully. They might be there, just hidden behind other dockers because they are tabbed.
You can also use the rightmost button in the toolbar to reload Krita's default layout.

It doesn't work, when I dock it, it only appears as a small phrase on the bottom I can't see anything, and if I go on (I don't know the english word) I can bring the phrase a little bit hihger, but theres only a grey space, and I had about 20 layers.
If I go on default, still the colour triangle in a big grey bar and fills the right side totally, the layer and brush fields are just small empty phrases on the bottom.
I even deleted and reinstalled krita, but it didn't help too.

There is a small arrow like this: |> on the left most of each docker's title. Click it and you will be able to expand the docker.
And remember to open/create a document when you manage the workspace, otherwise things will gray out.

There was always one open with about 20 layers,
If you mean this : <-||->, it worked, but the spaces are still empty, the one of the brushes too.
There is not something like a reset, isn't it?

I found another way, I downloaded the 2.9... version, it works, and I personally think it is also better.
But thanks for your help

Does anyone know how to unlock layers in krita? i cant get it to unlock the European BD templet

yah, i tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but no good. ill figure it out one way or another
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you installed Krita 2.8 before, it could be the settings file messed up with the newer one. Uninstalling alone is not going to resolve that. Search your harddrive for "kritarc" and delete might help.

Please help! Do somebody know where can I find Krita in version less than 2.6?
Because I installed Krita 2.8 and it's laggy and I need older version..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Or you actually needed 2.9 (whichis beta2 now): krita.org/item/krita-2-9-beta-…
To me, Krita gets faster every release. It runs pretty well on modern entry level PCs. I think what makes Krita slow on your PC was caused by the implementation of OpenGL support since 2.7.
In Menu > Settings > Configure Krita you can switch OpenGL ON/OFF and adjust the filter, by tuning those features down you may trade speed for quality.
I would like to know about your PC's spec to further investigate this problem and report it to the dev team for future improvement. Please share the following information about your PC:
* CPU model and frequency
* Memory size and speed
* Graphics card
You can use CPUinfo and GPUinfo (search them in Google) to obtain those information.
Also something about your software:
* Operation system
* Is the Operation system 32bit or 64bit
* Is Krita 32bit or 64bit

I don't know Firealpaca, so I'm not in the position to compare them.

Okay, I was just asking because I would like to give this program I try, has it got a good pen pressure and a powerful blending tool?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Krita has great pressure support under GNU/Linux, but probably not yet under Windows. I suppose Krita 2.8 beta is doing a better job. I don't really use blending tool often, but consider Krita is a digital painting tool that emphasize real life tool imitation, I guess it has the relevant function. You can find those tools as brushes.

I'm using Krita right now but I'm having trouble, maybe because its on windows
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, one of my reasons to give up Windows was I want to use Krita and it didn't work well under Windows. Krita 2.8 has a lot of improvement on Windows, but it seems there is much to do.

Okay If I were to ever get Linux, I would first look at Krita^^ Interesting tools for a free program

So her real canon name is Kiki or Krystine?

Her real canon name is now Kiki!

Your animal androids are so cute! I can imagine the hilarity and adorableness that would ensue if she [Krystine] met a non-robotic squirrel that looked similar to her!

Turns out, Krita isn't actually in the Calligra suite, like that download site says.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As for the Windows version, it is independently BUILT. But the development of Calligra and Krita is not separated. You may want to have a look here: projects.kde.org/projects/call…

I am downloading Kirita because of you. o3o
Actually, I'm downloading the whole Calligra suite. :I
