@shirish Do you mean GIMP 2.10? There was no huge shift in UI from 2.7 to 2.8 or even 2.8 to 2.10 (comparing it to something like Blender 2.4 to 2.5). Indexed mode is a step up from 2.8 but there's still a lot holding it back, so I'm not all in it but it's what I use to pixel.
re general art: If for some reason you're talking an artist in the big name industry, usually the only FOSS you'll see is under the hood (plugins, formats, etc.) or the OS. But I won't kid myself.
What little guys mostly use has been covered. Blender or forks (BForArtists is a good one). There was Wings3D, but haven't heard much from this one lately. 2D is mostly GIMP or Krita.
@LDAsh Another great list. OGA needs to have a list like this stickied right up in your face in the forums. Would be happy to help you out if you need tags or recommendation, I wanna collect this software too. Already found a couple other user-made lists.
Just to follow up, I herd you were open to critique, so if it helps, this is what I've got.

--For the way it's used there is no reason to load the full-size banner image which is 2.3mb in itself
--Might be useful to separate the seamless and non-seamless textures explicitly, but this would require revamping some categorization. --Also useful to have asset entries in some easier location instead of scrolling down if WordPress can handle this.

--Some of these images are a little out of focus. A few others have minor image destabilization. As I'm not a photographer, I can't help you there. (Most of these are good.)
--idk what process you are using to generate the seamless textures but many look clone-stamped and monotonous.
Here are some better ways:

One is old school but works (1). Tho if you have Photoshop, access to more sophisticated methods is possible (2).
Wanted to send out a thanks. I'm building up a library of cc0 stock sites and this is an invaluable resource. Rez is good too. (Tho when you're shooting for game textures, the lighting could be a little less harsh on a few of these.)
some more UI sprites matching what you got there (sci-fi/modern day/medieval etc) would build off of that well
Been a while since I checked out the music side of this, but I'm pretty impressed with the quality. keep it up.

Pretty cool style.
Variety here is killer, almost goes without saying. I need to start one of these with the crap on my old drives...

Donating. Keep it up.
