All of them were made purely in Paint. Before you start saying "you can't do scanlines in Paint!" about the bear one... they were hand drawn. Which is something I *never* wish to do again! Sapphire Faerie helped a bit with the bear one- she just made the background blue (<3 Chass). Otherwise... there's my "improved" "skills". If you can call that crap skillful.

Oh, and yeah- see? You can do a lot in Paint. So unless you've been working with Paint for a year, it's not right to say "Paint sux dude!!oneeleven!!!"

Dawn, stop putting your self down. You've improved a lot! And mabey you can...But I can not do anything in Paint. Its still amazing that you can do that.

For me, there is no before and after...I have attemped to do a set, but I always end up stabbing the moniter or ripping my hair out... I just don't have the patence...

But Its amazing how so many people have approved...I would of kept away from most request bords a year ago, yet now I chase them down and threaten them to give me a set(O.K, not really. I request when they have a request bord).

Ali-San, I know which set you're taking about, and I have 3 words for you: patience and practice. Well, if you count and as a word. XD But, that's how we've all gotten better is practice. And for me, it was seeing all the ratings from the PPTTG judges, then seeing "I vote DM was on fire!". XD

Along time ago people told me tips about making sets and I used to make the ickiest and cheapest sets ever but learning that a simpler a image the better and learning that I should not draw the background if i am crap at it, I started getting better but trust me there was even cheaper sets that the ones i posted in then.
