thanks Bart - I should have mentioned that I did read the author used photoshop for the 2D graphics, so it was more of a how did he using this...
I do have Photoshop, hence I'm thinking painting over photographs in Photoshop would be a good thing to start to practice with. I'll trying googling this specific technique to see if they are some videos tutorials here...
(interesting idea re building interiors in a 3D tool - hadn't thought of this)
sounds good to me Bart - one example of where I would be interested in understanding how one would create such game art is the follow IOS app which I think is great (re artwork)... In this case it's more pure art I assume (not just vector grapics with effects etc), so not sure whether this is a case of using photoshop like a canvas & it's pure "painting" in a sense, or whether this are other techniques that would make it easier for a non-artist to get close to this level of quality...
