People at the Lineart forum (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447090) may be able to help. They only use basic stuff, like Paint. Good place to start. More complex renders are done with other programs that others can probably advise on.

Once you get experienced with MS Paint, you can make amazing stuff, but Photoshop, Paintshop, and Illustrator are great too.

If by "Land Piece," you mean you want to make a map, I could suggest this handy little tool called "AutoRealm."

Sim City 3000 unlimited and paint work well for me. Fun game and useful for other purposes.

((AutoRealm is a free, shareware mapmaking tool that includes such features as "Oceanside squiggles" for creating those non-straight lines on your coast or cliffs. It also has a multitude of icons for symbols and such. It even has a measuring tool, so you can measure out the equivalent of miles, days by sea, days by foot, etc.))

Do you know where I could find an AutoRealm at?

Only what I want to do is make pictures of some of my RP characters for the NSwiki... but I use an older Mac so the only drawing utility I have worth a damn is Photoshop and I suck ass at it. I wanted the characters to have at least as good graphics as you see in later video games...

That, unfortunately, will take either.

A. Skill with Photoshop
B. Skill with a 3D Art Program
or C. A Google Search

Names? Or, really, just look out for usable pictures during your general browsing.
