Actually it depends on the user, Any art Program can make great images, it depends on the users skill not the program it's self, MS paint is free and already on most computer, practice with it and amazing images can be made, GIMP is free as well, I use that, Photoshop (costs money), Sai, Photofilter, and a few others.


But any program can make good images as long as the user practices at it. You should see some of the Pixel art (via MS paint) out there that looks very very detailed.

I use MS Windows 7 Paint and Gimp plus photoscape if you look at my images you can see if those would be best fit for you by the style but photoscape is just an addition for deepening or other effects on there however MS windows 7 paint makes it easy to outline and color, Gimp also makes it easy to color but its also good for extra coloring additional shading and turning fall into spring on the bckgrounds XD i have tutorials on how to use gimp if you decide ot use it just let me know and ill send you the link to my site for the videos

I actually prefer MSPaint. It is very simple, but I like simplicity.

GIMP is the best (if by the best you mean closest to Photoshop) if you don't want to (or don't have the funds like me) to pay for Photoshop or Sai (a program exclusively for artists while Photoshop and GIMP were made to be photo editing software)

However, I've seen wonderful images made in MS paint that looked like they could blend into the background, it depends on how much knowledge and how comfortable you are with using the program.

I have paint.NET but I'm thinking of getting gimp as well (but im on da skol pc and this has gimp so I gues it is reliable if skools use it

Ok thanks

GIMP is like a free/simplified Photoshop. From my brief experience with it, it IS reliable. If you're familiar with layers and such, you should have no problems adjusting.
