Most player models were skinned by Djagg and Erik I think... most likely some other devs way in the past when these things were first made. I think they mostly use Photoshop or OpenCanvas, perhaps some were even painted by hand.
Textures that I make for PS are done in Photoshop CS, with a mouse. I have yet to see the \"Get Moogie a Drawing Tablet\" fund appear but I remain hopeful.

I did have one once, but it broke, I sent it back, and I can\'t afford a more expensive/reliable brand at the moment.
