Clip Studio Paint celebrates 10 years, Launches series of anniversary events to thank creators

Clip Studio Paint, the illustration, manga, and animation app, released in 2012 celebrates 10 years since it was first released on May 31. In commemoration of its 10th anniversary, Celsys is holding a series of Clip Studio Paint 10th Anniversary events from May 19th to thank the community of creators who have used the app over the last ten years.

During the celebrations, Celsys plans to run special competitions, bonus events, and publish special content all around the theme of “10 years of Clip Studio Paint.”

Clip Studio Paint is supported by illustrators, comic artists, and animators and used by beginners and industry professionals alike. It is currently used by more than 15 million creators across the world, and is available for all major platforms. Celsys seeks to continue providing the creators around the world who have supported Clip Studio Paint over the last ten years with a more enjoyable creative experience through its apps and services.

This event allows followers of Clip Studio’s official social media accounts to boost the number of points they receive at the subsequent login bonus by reacting to the event post. The more reactions the posts receive, the bigger the boost. Followers can max out the boost at 1,000 Clippy by reacting 20,000 times.

A special edition of Clip Studio Paint is to be released to commemorate the anniversary. Lots of new functionality will be packed into this update, which, amongst others, will feature a special app icon and splash screen.

This event will allow users to claim the Clippy they generated in the previous Login Bonus Boost event. Users are recommended to log into the app at least once a day and collect Clippy to spend on their favorite materials on the Clip Studio ASSETS store.
