Styl, don't discourage him. Everyone has to start from the beginning. Maybe his will be great.

Yeah, I know WOM, but there is nothing more discouraging than your first hard work wallpaper that will be rejectet, and there is nothing more encouraning then your first wall that is aproved. dont you think?

I had I think 3 rejected before my office hell was accepted. I didn't give up. It made me push harder and create something extreme. I got to say, that was alot of work.. I'm still sweating from it.

Any program is good. You just need to know how to use it. It's been said by many people all over this board. Like one person said before. A sculpturer could use a chainsaw and still make it look good. It's not the tools but how you use them. I probably messed up alot of spelling in there.. Too many things going on at once. I just wanted to state my comment

Adobe PhotoShop, JASC Paintshop Pro, Bryce (sorry Jafo)...and a myrid of others....there are actually a few walls here that were done with Microsoft's paint program. As the others have stated, it's not really important which tool you choose. Buy one you can afford and get to know it.

For beginners I definitely do NOT advise 'Bryce'.
In many ways it is like expecting to be a racing car driver by learning to drive in an automatic.
Use any graohic program you like, provided it can be equated to physical drawing or painting.
New users of Bryce or Terragen or other similar tend to suffer from the 'wow! this is kewl' disease and think they have created something 'brilliant and innovative', when, in fact, it is generally 'default' rubbish.
Bryce [should be] is the sort of proggy you 'graduate' to to expand your opportunities.
You must learn to walk before you can run.
Children who run are often hit and killed by cars...

Oh...and let's do a bit of vocabulary self-improvement and dispense with 'gay' as a derogatory adjective.
Its use as such shows immaturity....
