It's an empty gratuitous gesture to thank judges you don't know.

I'm surprised Null and BLueFire wasn't part of the panel considering they are part of the Artist's Clique in GT more than anyone else. I'm pretty sure Null or BF didn't bet in the vBookie either.

Another thing I wanted to ask you Vamp..... How did you render that in Photoshop only? It seems like the lighting effects and material could only be done in 3dSM... and you don't have it.

I'd like to know...
I'll tell you as soon as you stop using so many periods.

To make the background, I used a ton of the abstract brush's that I have collected since I started using shotoshop, and I had like 20 layers of brushing. Then I used the colorize tool to make them all orange by sampeling a piece of the torch. I turned up the saturation and slightly turned up the lighting to give it a bright, 3-d fiery look. Then I erased all the overlapping areas of the brushes, and merged them together.

Then I put the torch underneath them all, and set the blend mode to either hue, saturation, or color. I can't remember which. For some reason parts of him became grey after that, so I had to go back and color them in. That was pretty much it. I used a brush and some clever alignment to make it look like he was erupting out of the flames.
