This is really helpful! I've used textures before, but rather cack-handedly. This is a very clear tutorial, thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for this! I was browsing through your gallery and noticed all the cool textures and wondering how you did it, and--low and behold--you made a tut! ^^

Great texture tutorial, I think this one of the best one out there. I actually almost freaked, when I realized I never bookmarked this page...lol
But a quick use of the search feature did the trick.

Ooh, nice tut
I usually just slap some texture on my pics when I hit Background Angst, but I don't really know what I'm doing at all >_>
So yeah, I definitely found this useful! That ragged paper edge thingy looks really neat

Actually it was the textured background in your featured dev that made me look for an easier method in the first place..

The way you do the edges is very clever - I might have to steal that... >

I've been wondering how to best do backgrounds for otherwise pin-up pictures...! Now I have a plan... muaha!

Nothing wrong with a pin-up.. that's like 50% of what I do.. hehe

I'm trying to add backgrounds to my stuff at the moment. I'm thinking of pimping my portfolio out to this fantasy-rpg-making company... they're kinda small, so they can't get THAT many random art offers... but I wanna update the ol' portfolio before I try. So working on very time-consuming things that, apparently, I only feel like doing at 1am. Sigh.
I'll get back to doing fun things later, I'm sure. :3

I'm stuffing my portfolio to the brim for similar reasons. I keep changing my style, my portfolio is horribly inconsistent >.<

You know, I liked this tutorial a lot. It's odd, because I usually end up with long and complicated lists of things to do, ways to set things, and different methods of texturing/coloring. However, this tutorial was short, sweet, and very easy to follow. Have you made tutorials before?
