Thanks! Evil was definitely the look I was going for! Yay! Now, I've got a question for you. How do you go about converting all the edges into black lines? I got the shading down with layering, but I had a hell of a time trying to work around the edges. There's got to be an easier way...

well, when i do it, i start a new layer and outline the image with the drawing tool.....you can use the brush tool if you've very steady with a mouse or have a tablet.....but i do that first.....then i duplicate one layer, make sure it's on the top, and hide.....for two reasons: 1. i want to make sure if i mess up the original line layer, i have a backup, and 2. it looks better in the end if you have one line layer under all the colors, and one line layer as the top layer.....

i sometimes do one layer on top of everythings: they eye color/glints layer, but not always....depends on what look i'm going for......

btw: have you checked out the Random forum, with the May winner?....icon7.gif.....


edt: if you want, i can do that picture for you, then send you the original PSP file so you can see what i did.....there's lots of different ways to do this, but that's the way i usually do it.....

Yeah, that would be awesome! I'd really appreciate it.

ps. Where? I can't find the topic in the Random forum! Maybe I'm blind?
