Take a digital camera, get a hold of some dwarven forge pieces... take pics, drop em in photoshop (or whatever) and create them at the png size you need.  Done.Ain't perfect... may not be pretty.  But it'll be better than trying to hand draw it all, scan it is, resize... or create in photoshop (or whatever) for those of us pressed for time/artistic talent.Good lord people.. use your heads... You want pictures to use?  there's a TON of free art and 'real world' pictures that could be used... All it takes is hunting it down and converting it to the right size png... Even I can do that... And my artistic ability and PS ability makes a 3yr old with a box of broken crayons look like Van Goh work...Who cares about their art?  I'd rather have my own anyways... Now, you all think about that for a second... If I, as an owner of CMP, who took over e-Tools and all that entailed, can say positive things about DJ/Fluid (And yes, I am here, in case you doubted it), then what are you complaining for?  Gah...</blockquote>
