My favorite software packages are: Gimp, Sodipodi, Inkscape and Blender
These are all high quality Free/Open Source applications.
Linux makes possible GREAT graphic workstations these days.

My suggestion if you want to make graphics for SuperTux is to read the
wiki, - to get an idea of what is needed.

There is a good graphic tutorial by Grumble in the wiki. Also, get a CVS
copy of the game and look through everything so you are familiar with how
things work.

I got started by creating graphics I thought would look good in the game,
then I uploaded them to my website and posted a links back to this mailing
list.  If the developers like your work, and you agree to have it included
in a GPL package, then they may put it in the game for you.  If the
developer like your work enough, then they may make you a developer as
well.

It's pretty easy and the people around here are a good bunch, so welcome
to the list.
