That background is "scary good." While I've tried piecing backgrounds together in the past that's taking to a whole new level in this grand ol' game. :bow:

Thanks Mikey! When you coming out this way again? Got a chicken dinner at the Golden Lamb waiting on you. LOL Why don't you get that designer out and give us a new course.
Be Safe and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks Rick. Unfortunately there are no tips or tricks to making overheads. What I did is the same as you are doing which is learning the programs you have at hand and experimenting with them. I started with a small photo program and eventually picked up Adobe Photoshop 7 and the book, Photoshop 7 for Dummies which I sorely needed and learned what I needed for the game and then expanded from there trying different techniques. Some work but most fail. My problem has always been that if I'm not interested in something then I can't get into it but if I really want to learn something I'm bullheaded to no end. After that it's repetition and experiment. From what I read into your post here you are definitely on the right track!!

Appreciate it! I'll keep playing with those programs and hopefully create beauties like this! :D

Hi Rick,

I do have some stuff that may be able to help you. I will see if I can get it all together and send it to you via Dropbox. I will have to modify it a bit, as it is not exactly perfect. Can you please send me your email address?

May take a week or so to get it done, as my little sister is visiting from down south this weekend, so will be busy with her.

Cheers

Brad
