Well...
You see I was thinking about Paint.
Now, I don't have mad computer skillz (check out that zed!) like others on the forums (*cough/hack Shollia*) and I was like "paints fun". I even remember the good old days using the original white/black screen Mac computer to draw on... with all the different greys... and patterns to paint with *sigh* the good days.
So?
I went to paint.

And drew my dog Luke (who has Surgery on Thursday, wish him luck).
Now, not being satisfied with a boring picture, I tried to color him with paint, and realised, that I have no mad PAINT skills.
So. I went to Photoshop.

And made this. Now, as you can see, I like breaking rules.
Why? Noise to get fur. And spiffy cloud tool background! (I think i'm the only person who actually likes this feature due to the depths you can get with it in landscapes... but hey; i'm weird)
So I showed him to a few friends. Now, for as long as I can remember the words "Lensflare" has been ingrained in my brain as a bad thing.
Perhaps it's the torture I love submitting my friends too, but I kinda like lensflares.
So.

I think i'm going to have to experiment with the idea of lensflares and clouds... to prove that something useful can be done with them.
But until that time, fear my sucky computer art skills!

Evisceration is a sign of respect.
