The backgrounds I use are generally just screenshots from zones I find online, or ones I take myself.

Yep. You just need to take a screenshot from WVM, and then one from Wow or like a picture or something, and open them both in a picture editing software like Adobe Photoshop, or Corel, or something. Then take the magic wand, select the background color and delete it. Then you can take your model and move it around on your picture background and place it how you want.

Then, you can do special effects, and text and shiny things and it will look awesome. =)
