what programs do these guys use to make art of Guild Wars to win contests?
do they make it from scratch or can they convert a screenshot into a cartoon?

I use a tablet to draw lines. After that I color it in photoshop.
I'm trying to learn how to color it in photoshop well, but it doesn't go so well.

They do a simple sketch, then leave it for 20 mins then come back and its a work of art.

Most people use either Photoshop 7/CS2/CS3/CS4, Painter or Paint tool SAI. They do first a scetch of the setting, but along the drawing it changes oftenly. Scetch can be done digitally in the program or by hand on paper and scan it in. Hope it helps you

I use Photoshop CS3 and Wacom Saphire Tablet, but you can use Corel Painter or Gimp (free software) too.

Cause its awesome.

Actually I upgraded now so (and a Manhattan tablet)

Some people draw everything from scratch, some manipulate screenies in their work. Different artist, different styles, different "materials".
