Fireflies by @invader_bast (Jordan Gregory)

I will now use this space to rant about Photoshop, and the trouble it has caused me when coloring this.

The first time I colored this image, I tried to use the smudge tool, to finish off the BG. But my computer said that was a nono, and just made me wait 2 hours watching the little hour glass thing NOT MOVE. So, I had to restart my computer. No biggie. So then the second time, I colored it again, added the shading, tried a different approch for a different BG, and wadda ya know. One of the kittens knocked out the main computer cord. So, I had to start coloring all over again. Only the third time, I made the same mistake and tried to use the smudge tool. Once again, I had to restart my computer. So, after I colored this AGAIN, I tried making water ripples with the Silk Effect I created. But it seems photoshop doesn't like my style, and turned everything gray. So, I try again. I deleted the old BG, and took yet another hour to deside that this was the best BG I could come up with. Big woop. It seems that every force out there is trying to stop me from coloring my pictures. LAST time I tried to use photophop, all of the layers merged and so I couldn't detail my picture, without painting over the lines. And THEN it made this red clear film type paint over my picture, when I tried to color in the hair. Okay, photoshop hates me. That's all I have to say.

Wow! You actually read though my rambelings! =D Anyway, I like how this picture turned out, even though the BG is total crap. But I can live with it. Artwork © Copyright 2002 Jordan Gregory
