ah, i see you've uploaded it to the 2D gallery- but i will comment here first- the shadow, transparency & lighting seem much more believable- i think it looks absolutely super! sometimes you just gotta say enuf is enuf, i know what you mean, for i can only take a few hrs. of torturous smudging, cloning, trying stuff on the image, & even starting all over again before i feel satisfied in saying "done!" i do believe it gets easier the more you do- you did a fab job with this piece of creative fantasy & i do hope that prince will come through for you soon hope those kiddos liked their can of ravioli! :D
