Reference or not, this picture is AMAZING. @_____@
REALLY love that blur effect on the wing.
Also love how crisp the bat's head is compared to the rest of it.
The shadow on the water is also amazingly done.
You make me jealous on so many levels. Dx

Lol!! Sorry, I forgot to specify. ; I meant the water. I was looking at your sheezyart profile (awesome, btw!!! I loved all of the pictures of Pierce.) and I saw the original picture of the Grey Headed Flying Fox. The water effects in this look great, they're so well done!! (The bat is adorable too, just to let you know XDD)

Block coloring?

You're gonna have to excuse me, English isn't my first language. I'm not familiar with that term. What does it mean? XD

shortybat In reply to Blue-Uncia [2009-07-08 18:55:20 +0000 UTC]

oh, ahaha.

It just means putting one color down, then another color...
