Well, i must admit i wish i knew how to do good textures, but here is a tutorial which i got by a guy from another forum.

If you want to use GIMP i can help you concerning buttons/functions. So for example that you can keep the teamcolor of a original texture or which save-options to choose that it works with the game.

//EDIT2:
I just try to improve my skills.. heres a nice article, i think it should help for tecturmaking with GIMp. It describes a good tool

//EDIT3:

OK, i tried my best to act like the tutorials describe. Heres the result. I think its nice, its done with Gimp and i use NO pictures. I painted the base color to an area and used the dodge/burn tool to add detail(shadow/light). Then i used the smudge tool and adjusted contrast and brightness.
