P.S. - About the dolphins being drawn in MSP: yes and no. They were sketched and loosely shaded in MSP, but then they were later gradiated in PS. the clouds started out with a photo, which I applied a layer over, then redrew in PS so that it would be horizontally tilable (this was supposed to be a wrap-around tattoo for a person's thigh). The water ripples and dolphin's shadow were completely done in PS. sTile was used to scroll the image so it could become tilable (hence the name, sTile is for making Tiles), and test its tilability (they've got a handy "view as wallpaper" tool)

Back when I started on this, I DIDN'T have Photoshop 7.0... I had 5.0 LE - and it didn't have any drawing tools (circle, box, etc.) but still took a long-ass time to load on my then-crappy computer... so Paint was what I learned to draw on, because it was fast to load, wasn't a memory hog, but could still paint in 24-bit and port to JPEG and GIF. I learned to toggle sTile (a great program made by Harmware) and Paint together to come up with cool effects. Later, when I upgraded to 7.0 full, I didn't really NEED Paint anymore, but I was so used to it, and it STILL loaded MUCH faster... that now I still use it for simple jobs.
