I bet you can even dip a roll of newspaper into your coffee and draw a stick figure with that.

All right, well, if you want to get into drawing and learn I recommend drawing a lot from observation - choose random objects and draw them and try not to be discouraged if it doesn't look right at first - that's pretty normal especially at the beginning. :) Just practise by drawing from life or pho...

Thanks a lot guys!

BFett: Your backgrounds look great!

And Talvieno: Sure, always happy to help with advice, if I can. Just ask.

Sure there would be "theoretical" limit of how many places could be procedurally generated but I think that doesn't really matter. Look at Elite Dangerous - they generated 400 billion star systems. One would need several lifetimes of doing noting else than playing the game to explore every star sys...
