The backgrounds are mostly already done I just spoof them up, and I copy it to Photoshop. Where I can make the lines darker and add anything I wish to make the picture pop out.
But it looks like someone else made them though...
Im so mean... But as a graphic designer...always mention your source if you didn't create it yourself. We kinda thought you created them yourself. I use stuff from others too sometimes, but I always try to add the source of the materials and not take credit for work that isn't mine.
They are still very nice, and its good to practice photoshop and learn you skills by looking at other peoples work.
Yup mostly used. Photoshop is a great tool to use even when your working on other artwork. Guess I'll draw something tonight and give you all my sources I rough draft and my final. But thanks ;p
