Shoot, I wouldn't even need any additional third party stuff. There seems to be a ton of things I could learn. I'm not that creative, I like to recreate. If I've seen something that someone has done, I get hooked. Check out this link to creating text that is on fire. It is really advanced stuff. I tried it yesterday and it didn't come out to great. Try, try again.

Yeah, the problem is that even though the tools are pretty powerful, having artistic talent is certainly required to get the most out of them. Something I am sorely lacking in. I remember when I was in junior high school one of my classmates could just walk up to the blackboard with a piece of chalk and in moments draw ANYTHING he could see in his mind. It was awesome. I guess you just have to be born with talent like that.
