What program do you use for game art (sprites, models, textures etc.,)?
Recently I've been making a lot of 2D art for a small platformer I'm developing (more of that can be found in my journal either by the weekend or sometime next week), and I've been using GIMP to produce all of it. I made these tileable land sprites last night in about two hours (forgot how many pixels I was working with and as a result it wasn't seamless the first try):
It was also my first attempt ever at creating sprites pixel-by-pixel, and it was well worth it, I think! I learned a lot.
For 3D stuff I've always used Blender, and its built-in UV Mapping tools for texturing and GIMP again for making those textures.

For 3d I usually use Google sketchup for mockups and quick blocking out of environments. I'll use Zbrush to do most other things, but I've also used Max and Maya (I prefer Max, but it depends on what's available).
Photoshop for more "realistic" graphics and textures, and also for 2D sprites and tiles
GraphicsGale also for 2D sprites and tiles. It's free and it also does animations on separate layers.

GraphicsGale looks great! Downloading now to try it out.

Most recent project, isometric goldfish swim animation. Fish done in Inkscape, animation and background in gimp.
I want to help design a "sandpark" MMO. Optional interactive story with quests and deeply characterized NPCs, plus sandbox elements like player-craftable housing and lots of other crafting. If you are starting a design of this type, please PM me. I also love pet-breeding games.
