The Clip Studio Paint Super Bundle costs €19.99, paid once and includes 572+ tools and 60+ textures. Sets use a single-user license. Artwork made with the brushes may be used commercially without a time or usage limit, but the brushes themselves cannot be sublicensed, redistributed, or included in commercial products. The maker identifies himself as Paolo Limoncelli and says he released the first DAUB set in 2014.

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.
