heyas; i thought rena used corel draw, which is how her textures come out so clean and not... ordinary. (that and the big canvas she uses!) it seems all there to me. i'm kind wondering... i don't know, the part where you say go ahead and paint. you mean draw, right? ;) do you do anything special with your vectors, or... i dunno. (geeze, it's been SO long since i've done anything in coreldraw.)
