Would recommend ibispaint (relief and/or bevel effect) or paint 3d, though both are faux 3D
excellent recs from toribytez! I mostly use blender and bryce3D but the 3D effect on my home page is straight out of illustrator oddly enough (fuck adobe tho)
haha mine is a reference to the character cait sith from ffvii, but i am very intrigued, is there an rpg maker game also called caitsith? :)
