Okay, how do you guys make them? I don't mean like saving the stuff and opening it in game, but actually making it. What programs do you use? What tools within those programs? etc.

I use photoshop and everything I make in it looks like a piece of shit compared to everybody elses (and I'm pretty experienced with gfx).

Tutorial!

Make sure you know how the textures map and such. Other than that, it's mostly acquired experience, really.

>_>

I kinda meant graphic-wise. I've already visited that tutorial numerous times. I guess I'm asking for a tutorial on how someone would go about creating the visual (i.e. in photoshop or gimp with the supplied tools).

Meh, I could teach myself or do my own style ._.

Read the rules fucker.
