well, the idea isn't to show off my new particles so much, lol. No, I've been trying to get a new picture done with my little Apprentice, and it's proving more difficult -- I'm only partially inspired and just need help. Ok, a cityscape, eh? hmmm... that one might be hard to make. I'll go dig around image after and see what's floating around there. This image is the scene without the atmospherics as well (should have noted that before) which will brighten it considerably, but are going to need to work with the background. I could actually just do a series of the effects going back and DOF them -- that's actually sorta intrguing... any more suggestions?

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
