Fretslayer, I just use good ol Photoshop. I live in Japan and I have access to Deleter ziptones (The halftone patterns and such... I can buy them at the art store), I just scan them in and add them to the backgrounds/foregrounds whatever

I also added them to the texture maps on the sets...
I have Manga Studio, but It was a little too unwieldy to use... so I went back to Photoshop...
I also have Daz_Studio, but, I had similar problems making it do what I wanted it to do... so I fell back on Poser. I use Poser's very limited Toon mode to make the models render with no shadow (Flat). But you know, that's the second time Daz_Studio has been recommended to me. Perhaps I should give it another shot
I'm out of date, though. I'm using Poser 6 and Photoshop 7... I simply don't have the cash available to upgrade.
