In their own words
Clip Studio Assets
Clip Studio Assets is a catalog for finding, downloading, and publishing materials for Clip Studio Paint. Its collection includes brushes, image materials, poses, 3D objects, gradients, color sets, workspaces, and Auto Actions. Free materials are available; individual paid materials may be priced in Clippy or GOLD, which are required to download them. A Clip Studio account is required to download materials or to publish and edit them. Users can access the service through Clip Studio Start or a browser on a tablet, PC, or smartphone, with Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows listed as platforms. Clip Studio Paint version 4.2 and later can automatically install downloaded tools, color sets, gradient sets, workspaces, and Auto Actions; other software requires extracting downloaded ZIP files. Anyone can upload Clippy materials, while GOLD materials are restricted to qualified creators and earn royalties based on price and download count. Uploads must belong to the submitter, and materials made with AI image-generation technology are prohibited. CELSYS says it may remove materials or suspend accounts without prior warning.
Frankentoon Studio
Frankentoon Studio creates illustration tools for artists, including brush packs, graphics, educational material and design templates. Its Procreate catalog lists 15 kits and more than 700 brushes, and the studio also offers products for Affinity apps and Clip Studio Paint. A free Procreate Starter Pack includes 10 brushes. Listed purchases include Sketch Kit for Procreate at $12, paid once purchase and Dreadlines for Clip Studio Paint at $12, paid once purchase. Sketch Kit requires Procreate 5.3+ and Apple Pencil. The studio says its Procreate packs permit personal and commercial use, including client work and products. Brush files work on iPads that support Procreate, though newer iPads and more RAM are recommended for large canvases and complex brushes. Procreate brush files do not open directly in Adobe Photoshop, which uses.abr files. Product downloads begin immediately after purchase, and future updates are included at no extra cost. The studio says it has made these tools since 2016 and publishes tutorials and guides for Procreate and Affinity workflows.
