BootGraphics - An Amateur Pic-Maker's Dream? MrHanky
Over the past couple of weeks, a new help site has come to light. Not a usual help site for the game like many before, but a specialized one. This one, as the name suggests, is for helping budding picture makers with techniques to create better pictures than they can currently produce.

Pictures here on Bootleggers are a potential income with a wide range of players having the most common application, Photoshop. Many like professional, comedial or just plain wacky pictures on their profiles to show off to others and some are willing to pay extremely high prices for such works. This makes BootGraphics a must-see site if you wish to enter the picture trade and you have access to Photoshop but don't know how to use it.

The site itself is well developed with many different features already there, despite having started in mid February. Players can register with their Bootleggers name as well creating a separate BootGraphics username if they so wish and send in feature suggestions much like Bootleggers itself. Wes (Flinx), the owner of BootGraphics has been advertising it on the Off Topic Forum for the past couple of weeks now and quite a few have already signed up.

There is also a section on Tutorials and players can send in their own for everyone to see. This makes it possible to get advice from those picture makers you've aspired to be. Not only this but they have detailed text and graphic help. Wes (Flinx) would like to pay tribute to Sky (aKingSkyTheFourth) and Goodgy (SytseX) who helped him a lot with this great addition to Bootleggers related help sites.

So, if you think you could with some improvement to your Photoshop skills then it may just be worth checking out Boot Graphics at www.bootgraphics.com.

I've had a look at it and have found it incredibly useful, so why don't you check it out...
