Need help with background images... are there any good drawer or painter?

[AnalogGuy]

I'm going to make my own game. AGS seems to be better instead of direct programming languages.

But then... I face the big problem; I cannot make required backgrounds or any images at my own!   

I still want this to be "one-man-project". I have all my own visions and I don't want others to make images for me.... unless I totally suck as a drawer and depress because of it....  but....  mainly I need make images of rooms like in this game:

So... no need for stunning 3D graphic or fancy pictures.

Also, as in that game in the link, I think I'm going to make transitions between angles (1st person view) when turning into other direction. It's not primary thing... just a pictures would be fine if I'm even worse with animations.

is there any sort of program (freeware) which is designer for making rooms? I mean I do not want any programming things or special 3D designers... just a painter to make images. Or are there anything "tutorial" to paint background images?

I desperately need good advices.................. 


Edit: I have already seen "The Big List Of Paint Programs!" topic, and I'm trying them all, but I think it's not because of the program... but because of the drawer itself!

It's same thing as about my favourite phrase of officers who have problems with computers: "There are no use of tools if you can't use them"

I think using this link you will find some valuable links to some pretty good tutorials and some other information you might want. I find just playing thru some of the games I am wanting to model after help sometimes me with my perspective etc...

Hope this helps a little.

And also there is a "Tutorial Redux" list on the Critic's Lounge that would be helpful to your this 'technical' problem.

This doesn't really belong here, particularly as you already have a thread on the actually technical side.

Check out the tutorials Gord suggested, post in Critics Lounge for improvements after you've tried. If worst comes to worst, try recruiting an artist to help. But don't post art questions in the Technical forums
