eeeeep

stop the CS spellings NOW...

anyway, Indy used traced photographs where as MI used painted (then traced) background (iirc) so you cant do them in paint :P if you have a little dig around www.barnettcollege.com there is a tutorial for doing indy type backgrounds.

Perhaps you should post some images you have already created - that's what the crit lounge is for really. Also, at the top oif the crit lounge is a thread labled 'A big list of paint programs'.
That should help you out

(I don't usually do comments, but it never hurts to try.)

The best advice anyone can give you is to practice, practice and more practice.  (draw draw draw!)

Of course I'm implying here the rule:
Never draw what you can copy, never copy what you can trace, and never trace what you can cut out and paste up.

That goes with the trying to understand the drawings.  :)
