Why not just use a simple 1 program (GIMP) then, with all these features?

Yessss, poc, join the dark side khhhhhhh. But for serious, use an hour to get used to it and you'll be a happier person.

I might go ahead and do that.

I forgot about the shadows. Gunna redo them really quickly.

Thanks!

And one more thing - clouds look far more natural if they have flat bottoms.

I don't like flat bottoms but I do agree here.

Reminds me of a Queen song... Ahhh..

I will add the flat bottoms to the clouds. I hadn't thought of that, but it's very true.

Thanks!

Check out Indieboy's entry to the background blitz for some sexy looking clouds.

Totally disagree...only in cartoons. You could shade the bottoms for shadow, but I look out my window often here and there are rarely flat-bottom clouds to see.

Yeah, I am going to leave them rounded. I looked at examples of rounded and flat bottomed clouds in pixel art type backgrounds, and the flat ones do only look good in cartoony settings. I am looking out my office window right now, and the clouds in the sky are all wispy, rounded and look like a messy airbrush tool was let loose on the sky.
