Why Haven’t I Used Adobe Illustrator Before?

During those 6 months I never touched this computer, until when I began playing Eve. I used Inkscape on my computer because that’s all there is besides Sodipodi (which bugged me, I didn’t like the layout) for FreeBSD. Not saying Inkscape is bad though, I still love it.
I always wanted proper Guassian Blur or other filter effects for Inkscape and knew Illustrator had these–it was just too much effort to move my keyboard/mouse/monitor to the Windows computer just for Illustrator. So when I began playing Eve I decided to mess around in Illustrator.
It’s awesome! :o I made this Honey trace first, but didn’t figure out how to edit nodes so there are some weird gaps/overlappings. Now I’m working on this Honey & Haruhi trace to test out some other filters. None of which have been used yet because I’m still outlining. Lots of Ouran because it’s currently the one I’m watching… and has the best scenes ever for vectoring.
Personally, if I was asking the question… It would be cause I’m a pood bastard and can’t afford the software.
Also I’m kinda lazy.
But I have used Illustrator on a G5, and it was pretty sexy.
Paid? Who pays? >:P
Lazyness, definately. That’s mostly why I never touched it.
Heh
Too lazy to… uh… get my absolutely legit copy…. yeah thats it.
:P
Yes… and it’s expensive. :p
