While I share your appreciation of Krita and FOSS in general (long live Gimp and Inkscape), I have to point out that there are good commercial software that are not a total subscription rip-off (I'm looking at you Adobe). Here are some I know of and have used (bugs and limitations and everything):
- The Affinity suite
- Corel Painter
and perhaps a few others. They do their job of paying their developers, cultivating artist communities, doing R&D and pricing their products at something reasonable for the average artist.
