Trent said on 2008-05-13 22:05:59 It was good until you added the smoke, the light rays are in the completely wrong direction, and it looks really bad now. I've done better with GIMP.
TheOther said on 2008-06-03 21:06:41 Hum.... its true that the light rays are in wrong direction...
Look at the sun man.... and in wich angle the picture is taken.... where do you get those rays from? NOT from the sun anyways....
But except from that MAJOR failure :P
It looks nice ^^ and the idea is great =)
