Synthetik Studio Artist 2.0
Painting, rotoscoping and effects package for Macintosh and Mac OS X
by David Nagel
I'm not going to keep you in suspense on this one. Synthetik Studio Artist 2.0 is my favorite application of all time, regardless of platform or genre. It's a painting program. It's a rotoscoper. It's an animation package. And it's an effects suite. It does it all, and it offers creative tools no other package can meet no matter how much money you spend.

Flaming Pear SuperBladePro
Metallic texture effects for Adobe Photoshop
by David Nagel
This will be my fourth review of a Flaming Pear Photoshop plugin in the last two and a half years. In that time, the company has never returned an e-mail of mine, never kept me abreast of developments and never issued a single news release announcing any of their new plugins. This might explain why you've never heard of the company or the software before.
