Q: What if I dont have an artist?
A: There are many online art solutions that will help you give a unique look to your casual game. Although Kasual Kit includes over 300mb of very unique game assets, some developers prefer to create their own art style. Products that have been used for these purposes by other independent game creators are 3D Studio Max (www.discreet.com), DAZ3D ( http://bryce.daz3d.com/55index.php), and Paint Shop Pro (www.jascsoftware.com).
