Hey. Me again. Guess what? I've got another nighttimey full-color pic done. Another from <a href="http://dementia.keenspace.com">my webcomic</a>. And THIS one's got flames and such!

All sorts of GIMP tricks (Well... hue layers, mostly) went into this little pic. Took me long enough, but now that I've finally got a laptop worthy of coloring, it goes by faster.

And I think Alex's hands just look wicked cool in this pic. :-)

So hey! Whadya think, sirs?

I've already said this but I think it looks awesome. :) I do like how she is holding the fire like that...I can't believe it doesn't burn her!

That's an interesting use of the colors. The blue and the orange contrast well. Although I'd expect that Alex's face would be colored/lit more by the fireball. I like the flames, especially those on Alex's hands. Pretty cool pic.

Well, yeah, but that's actually a fairly vague reference to Die Fledermaus, the old operetta. Of course, THAT'S kinda gramatically correct, so... yeah. :-)

Glad ye liked it, though!

Que Passa!!!!

Whoa, you got really flamey with the flamey flames that flame...

Ok... When this is the only kinds of things I can say to something like that, you know it's one of those lazy summers...

Saw this in your LJ, very nice job. The fire looks very sweet, great job on that. I think that if it was sized a little differently and if flipped (though that would mess up the writings), it would make a spiffy wallpaper.

I actually made this as my main wallpaper on my laptop. You only SAY it doesn't work because YOU happen to have all your icons stuffed to the left side. So THERE! :-)

Actually, it works well, since most of it is a blue shade and not really obnoxiously colored. Or you can just use LiteStep and not have to worry about icons at all. :-)

But hey, thankee!

Actually... given the fireball and Matt and Alex are two seperate layers in that pic, I CAN break it into a standalone minmalistic wallpaper... I'm not sure about flipping it, though; in the comic, Alex is left-handed, and flipping the pic would make her throwing the fireball with her right hand.

Still innerested? I can probably do it fairly easily if you let me know what resolution you're looking for and how small you want Matt, Alex, and the fireball to appear on the wallpaper...

I went ahead and made the minimalistic wallpaper anyhoo. I've only got it in 1024x768 right now (Well... and 1900x1200, but I don't think anyone else uses that in here).

Whadya think? Better for wallpaper? Anyone need other sizes?
