Then I started Poser and mucked around with the materials and an old background I painted in Photoshop a couple of years ago.  I of course adjusted levels and applied my standard quad layer set up for the final image (Bckgrnd, multpily,screen,overlay).

I wish I had enough time to model the board and finish his body but I have to get some sleep and when I wake up...no power.  Oh, and no work  I guess, lol. Hadn't thought about that.
