Software
Here's a brief list of the software I'm using.
Blender 3D
I am using Blender 3D with many add-ons, thank you Humble Bundle. The one I am using the most is HumGen to create characters.
Photoshop
Can't get the 2D look well enough with color ramps? Fake it til you make it!
Clip Studio Paint
I am using Clip Studio Paint v2 to paint and draw. I got pissed they made you connect to this version to the internet pretty much every day -- so I think I am going to refuse to upgrade past v2.
That being said, I like the page layout and ease of word balloons, plus it plays well with my Dell Pen.
Hardware
List of computers and the pros and cons:
Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 with a Dell pen
Pros:
Long battery life.
Pairs well with Clip Studio for drawing.
Great value for the power it offers (especially since I bought it used.
Allows me to work outside of the house.
Cons:
The Dell pen can disconnect randomly, especially when the computer forces a Windows update.
Macbook with 32 gigs of RAM
Pros:
This laptop performs surprisingly well with Blender. I’m shocked at how well it handles 3D for a laptop.
Cons:
Most people won't likely end up with a second-hand one at a bargain price -- like I did.
Battery life drains quickly when doing 3D work.
