Sorry about the screenshots, I should've taken much closer, but I had no roof or second floor on my "building" and I wanted the lighting, from not having any extra walls.... Maybe next time, I'll actually make a better set to do screens. I admit the Rabbit Moon is very dark, as lines are thin and on black bg.

Thank you for comments. And NewOne, yes, more to come! ;D I'd like to see what you'll do. No silly hex numbers and backwards forwards Aaaaahhhhh, and pulling out your hair. When I first attempted to do a replacement, I'd renamed my working image DDS, when you're not supposed to, but didn't say not to in tutorial, only said to remember the number of what you're replacing and didn't tell anything about thumbnails. So if it did show up in my game, I couldn't find it.

This tutorial was more specific and useful and way simpler.

They're not too expensive. They're the same size as a ballpoint. Though I think there is less ink in them. I've seen them range in price. Cheapest are usually like $1/pen. I've seen some expensive ones, and they seem to be more reliable for quality of ink. But still, they all run out so fast. I do buy a lot of pens. Mostly silver. ;D Speaking of, I probably need to restock.

Oh, I love this, and the other original work you've put into the game! I peeked at your DA, too, and I just overall love your style. I do a bit of drawing too, nothing as good as yours, but I favor gels as well. Especially the metallics. So this is perfect! Love the Tank Girl picture on your DA, too.

Of course, but I do like to give out props to those who help me along the way. I know if I taught someone a neat trick and they had good come of it, I would kinda feel proud that I helped them and glad if they gave thanks to me.
