Well, paint will be hard pixels, like the work you see in her art thread. It also can't make the transparent backgrounds needed to use them on items. Programs like GIMP and Photoshop allow for a softer look like Tris uses thanks to its tools, a combination of the pencil, brush, and smudge tools. They both also allow transparent backgrounds. Taking it a step further, Photoshop also allows use of our custom gradients, so that the items can be easily made in multiple colors and released as soon as the actual pixeling is finished.

It's easier to go from paint work to what we do than the other way around.
