Hey, thanks! I tried Animation Stand before, it crashed three times while I attempted to get through the chimp-written tutorial. :P I guess they didn't put much effort into the Mac version. But I'll have a look at your other recommendations! Never heard of ToonBoom.... But I'm hoping Etchalon will work out. Apparently a new version is about to be released, with a lot more features...if it does close enough to what I want, $27 registration fee sounds a whole lot better than the competition! I can always port stuff to Painter for ink-n-paint work, if necessary.
