I'm kind like you there... Why do XYZ if doing PDQ works the same way?

I'm happy to learn shortcuts but sometimes the shortcut seems longer than the way I was doing it before sometimes.

I hear ya!

      how do you do your backgrounds? trail an error? referances? something else?

        It varies... In this instance I rendered the props in Poser (Cottage, fence, dirt road...
        then exported it as a 300 DPI render into a PSD file... then I painted all over it and filtered the bajeebers out of it to make it look like a painting and not a 3D model... Like I painted in the grass, added lines and edges and flowers etc...

        It depends on how fancy I want to make a BG... If I'm just gonna have it generic I'll just paint it (I have a ton of custom brushes I've made for that purpose.

        but if I want it as rich in detail as this one, I'll render a 3D model first (I have lots of construction kits in POSER that I can build scenery and cottages, even castle building blocks if I wanted too... and then paint over it using it as a wireframe/template.
