There are thousands of monster animations in Total Chaos AGA and most of them were drawn in Dpaint and/or Ppaint.
I use Dpaint for my pixelling because I know how to use it. I learned from the Dpaint Tutorial Videotape which is a zillion x easier to learn from than reading the manual.
Many of my gfx friends tell me that Ppaint is better than Dpaint.
I think I read somewhere you were making an OCS game?
If so then Disney Animation Studio totally R0xx0rz!
