Even though I hardly read your reviews (just because I don't really need freeware programs) I just to applaud you for writing them. It allways makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when I see someone unselfly contribute to the community. And I bet that your work with these programs must be pretty time consuming, and that, of course, only adds to the weight of your deed. So five huzzars for you :D
"...unselfly contribute to the community."
Here's a secret - I actually started this to improve my non-existent writing skills. I was disappointed at how lousy my literate abilities were. At the same time I had downloaded a bunch of freeware programs and was just peeked over to Art101-s account to find myself mildly disappointed with their list of programs. The idea to write a bunch of reviews myself....came naturally.
As for the time consumption....hell, it's fun to learn new stuff!
This is a great post, I was wondering how to get a few of these programs. I have gimp and photoshop already but really don't care for either.
you could add:
photoshop (duh)
gimp
cinema 4d (its a 3d modelling program)
FREEWARE art programs, man.
Besides, GIMP is on the list already.
Wow! Thanks for the list! It helped me a lot.
Oh, a recommendation... an online art tool that I found a few days ago (you might have seen the thread on it) is Ze Frank's Scribbler.
<a href="http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler/">http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler/</a>
Hmmm....it has some interesting ideas, but I don't think I'll really go over it. It's basically a typical internet drawing room with the added gimmick of scribbling your art.
SAI isn't freeware.

Say what?
Very useful list! I've already tried several. Now to get used to using a tablet... though it's better feel than using a mouse it's still not a pencil and paper.
Oooh, a tablet. Yeah, these can be serious bitches to get used too.
Include some Autodesk programs under 3D! like Autodesk Maya (used in AVATAR!!)

Cloudy....FREEware. Free as in no money involved.
opps Sorry :( if I find som FREE programs you don't have i'll let you know
When are you gonna bust out the first review of 2010?
When I stop being lazy and wrap up my thoughts on Alchemy :3
I want to put put Alchemy and Artweaver together. It's hard to think up explanation why I don't like anything though (as opposed to saying "This is a gay piece of shit") and thus Artweaver has stalled me longer than I liked.
Violent gratitude! Thank you! You are a credit to Newgrounds. I have been using Sumo for about 3 months now, good stuff. Had some friends "pfft..sumo?" me a couple times and decided to "pfft...Gimp?" them. I am, at this very moment, experiencing Paint.net. I am feeling indifferent. I like sumo's brushes a lot compared to this. On the other hand, loving the manipulation points on line/ curves. For the record, I would not have posted this "thank you" if it weren't at least in part an encouragement to continue and maybe even hurry the hell up(?) I understand you have a life, and am sorry for my crudeness, but I needs me some more reviewz! Thanks again! I love you even though you smell like burning plastic!
as far as i know sai isnt free, the trial thats free is 30 days then you have to pay to keep going

This is a more impressive collection of programs than the one on Art101's profile.
