Took a butchers!

It's a great tutorial - good idea as well. It's great for Manga, but it'd be a bit too tedious for animating I think.

I also read through the comments, and notice you're a Ghost In The Shell fan, and hey, me too ;-)

I'm off into town tomorrow to pick-up the Special-Edition DVD. I'm craving to see the extras on it, how they made it etc. I haven't seen the second movie (Innocence) yet, so I'm just gonna wait until they release the Special-Edition version of it before I buy that one. If it's only half as good as the first, it'll be great - 'cos I reckon the styling in Ghost In The Shell is kick-ass, and the story is great.

Yup, I get ya - though I've never tried an area averaging over a 256 before. I'll have to have a go at that, cheers!
