But thanks for the link; I had no idea versions ahead of 1.0 existed.
@berteh: Actually, I was looking for someone creative, however if you can create some really good backgrounds based on sketches provided (perhaps using some creativity to make up your own details) that’d be splendid! Although the style I’m looking for is sorta the kind you see in most anime; be it Ghost in the Shell, Inu Yasha, Naruto, or even Spirited Away. Doesn’t matter if you use vectors or bitmaps so long as we get the needed results. Once the BG is approved of I’d need the source files to work with individual layers.
The one you posted is “Gimp Paint Shop”. I posted “Gimp Paint Studio” . But it looks like the difference between them is as big as the difference between their names .

Guess the one I found was one of the oldest versions.
