Yep, lately I've tried to use the flood fill to clean up pictures. ^^; The eraser doesn't work well in Paint Shop Pro, for some reason. flicks it. After I use the flood fill, I go to Corel Draw and use the eraser there to try to fix whatever's left, minus around the signature. XD;
Heh heh. . . . It took me forever before I figured out how I could draw the arms correctly. ^^; Next hurdle to tackle---legs!
pats Valon. I actually have a picture that's very very similar to this, but among other things, I didn't like the way Valon's expression came out in the end. So I redid the whole durned thing. XD; Now both pictures sit side by side on my computer, though I don't think I'll upload version one. I wasn't too pleased, mainly, with how Alister came out in that one. Somehow his size in relation to Valon's seemed . . . off. XD;
Ah, you're back!
Looks like you did some clean-up on the background, there pokes at the whiteness Looks nice and clean, 'cept around the signature, but I know how hard it is to erase around those, so I won't go there. ^_~
The positioning's very nice on this one...I like the Amelda's head is sort of resting against Varon's neck. Only thing I'd suggest would be not having the neck and shoulder come together at quite so sharp a right angle...but the muscle detail to the arms is nice, and the hands are very good as well.
Did I mention I love Varon's expression? ^^
