Frankentoon Studio vs RetroSupply Co.

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.

RetroSupply Co. sells digital creative tools, including brushes, textures, templates, fonts, and other assets for apps such as Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and Clip Studio Paint. Listed brush formats include .abr, .tpl, .ai, and .afbrushes, and commercial licensing is available.
