--I've seen some mighty strange things in this world; but none so strange as when I close my eyes and dream.-- Ah, my world has surely changed. There is a before Comic-con 2003 and After. I had the absolute joy of meeting many of my favourite artists in the flesh, and they bestowed a renewed faith in the arts as well as some new inspiration. Special thanks to John Avon, Ben Thompson, Donato Giancola, Terese Nielson, and all the other awesome people I met at Rockin Baja Lobster and at the Con. =D Anyway, this one I kind of thought about while trying to do another one of Hobbits tutorials. I don't think it works for palm trees. ; ) The leaves are a photo, the tex is a photo, the ground is a photo, the background is aurora and the fireballs are my own creation. Someday I'm going to buy a wacom...=D Okay, I'm babbling, so I'll quit now. Thx for viewing, I hope you enjoy. Leave comments if you see something wrong, or want to see the variant. If you dig it, vote it. =D Thanks again, Globator **Variant** I had an island in the back that was having the crap blown out of it by a meteor, if you want to see it, just say the word, but I liked it w/o.
