...It is also my first arrival at this forum. The lines may look a bit scratchy, but that's because of the format (conversion done under PSP7).

You appear to be trying to link to an image that, in reality, is an HTML page that breaks into a single frame with the image on it. Thus, it won't show up under a normal image link.

However, you can just make a clickable link to it... it worked when I went to it manually.

I'd say the gradients look pretty good for a first attempt. Looks like you've got a few experiments with circular gradients, too. Nice.

Heh, that's pretty good, but you may want to work on Jazz's form, he works...slim. ;-P

Here's the link for all you snufuss food... er... noobs... that can't get the link yourself (I had to use the page source)

I suggest using the "retouch" tool set to "darken" for your shading. You may have to convert the image to 16million colors to use it, though.
