EDIT:

Jaomock, photoshop :D.

I usually go to GreyCobra, Pixel2Life and TutorialTomb.

I used to follow guides, But after a while they get sickening. Well, I thought gamerenders.com and chaosgfx.com were decent.

thanx for the websites guys

Why not get Photoshop? Just get a trial and a keygen.

Or you can get GIMP.
