nice tree, macro.
you can use paint if you like, but its easier with something thats capable of layers. I've found that paint isn't good for much anything other than bitmaping wich is my least favorit style of cg arts, although some people can do it good enough that it doesn't suck.
you can't be harsh on faenix, because he's still learning. you had to, too at one time. though granted, he's doing pretty well.
as for faenix, I'm glad to hear that I made sence. its gratifying when people find what I have to say to be helpfull
