These backgrounds were made on mspaint, gimp, and paint.net. Here is something I made to practice on creating backgrounds without using stock brushes from other DA users. These are stock backgrounds. I just used some default brushes from the programs and a bit of filter effects.
You may use these backgrounds, but please credit me! You are more then welcome to alter them.
The backgrounds are put into a zip format folder. You need a zip program to open it. I recommend the program easyzip.
