How about bluring the texture then repasting the graphic? Um I'm envisioning something like this. I realize this looks horrible. But I'm at work and I don't have all of my 'fancy" graphics stuff installed here. I copied the dragon pasted it into a seperate picture then cloned the red texture, softened the redtesture, and blured the red testure. Then I more or less repasted the dragon. Does this make sense?
