The issue more is not creating quality art. Linux has plenty of free tools to do that. We use The Gimp, Blender, Krita, Inkscape and many more programs routinely. We need something that we can use to create animated Gifs and sprite sheets for some products we are developing. Pixen is perfect for us. The only problem we have with is is that we have to keep a macintosh computer around almost solely for pixen.
