lol I agree with Kaz - and thanks for the links and discussion here, when I get time to re-read and experiment with what your talking about I'm sure it will really help.

I hope its another cat with wings like the workshop you did on wings....all those little critters were so cute!

Hey dear, sure I remember you!! <3

Getting to IFX was kinda a long experience. It all started with Computer Arts Projects, actually. An editor from CAP saw my work online and approached me asking whether he can license an image of mine for a cover. I said yes, the cover got published.http://www.computerarts.co.uk/__data/assets/image/220249/cap73_lrg.jpg

 After a couple of months from then, Rob Carney mailed me saying he saw that cover and whether I would be interested in doing a face painting tutorial for Future's new upcoming digital painting magazine... I agreed to the proposition and my first tutorial got published in Issue 2 of IFX :-)

 Ahh, I am feeling sentimental now... ;(
