Overview of FOSS Artist workflow Guide.

This is a summery of all the technology that goes into my greatest works of art. As well as list of install scripts for each tool in order for others to easily replicate my setup.

This is for Artists who would like a serious and focused FOSS workflow that well.. just works.

The main idea is that I take free opensource software and I do the hard put of bundling important free addons for you, for the goal of ensure it's all as industry standard and production ready as possible before you get to needing to spend money. If for any reason any of this seems funny or strange, look it up in the 'rationale' section.
