Graphics Help

How do you make graphics, (Background, Players, Ect)? I want to create a game but I need some graphics:). If someone could help me I would be VERY happy.

You draw them. :-)

You can hire an artist to do them for you. Or you can draw them in Photoshop or illustrator. Or you can download free image creating/editing software (Inkscape or GIMP are two of them).

Hi ArcDude; if you don't want to use a computer to make your graphics you can produce them on paper with whatever medium you choose, then scan them in (if you've got a scanner). Although this way they'll still need some work in Photoshop, for instance, to give them transparent backgrounds.

Photoshop and Illustrator are the two main progs people use for graphics/images but they are quite expensive. THere's a lot more graphics/photo programs out there, some not so expensive, others free. Gimp, Inkscape, etc

Or consider a friend making the graphics for you, giving you the files on disc for you to import into GS.

Some GS users pay illustrators/artists to make their graphics for them.

Finally, if none of these are not to your requirements for any reason, try googling for copyright free or free graphics/vectors/illustrations/images/photos. you'll find a ton of stuff to use if they're the sort of art you're after.

Good luck!
