Feel free to use this pic for your site, just please leave the credit and the copyright on.


I made this for my buddy John (www.xanga.com/kidwiththekeys). Unfortunately, he doesn't use his site much anymore (he wants me to post games on it now lol....)

There's a story behind this pic:


I told my friend John about Xanga. He created a site and asked me to design a layout for him using a symbol from an Anime show he watches sometimes. He loaned me a necklace with the symbol on it (so I could copy it onto my computer). If you look closely at the symbol you can see the camera reflecting off of the metal. I reversed the colors and added a flame effect, then adjusted the flame colors with the colorize red/blue/green effects on Paint Shop Pro 9. Afterwards I took a picture of my living room while moving the camera in front of a TV screen, which made it appear that there were multiple screens. I reversed the colors and added an Ocean Chrome effect. I used the select tool to turn it into seperate boxes and pieced it together on the corners where it was overly gritty.
There's one major flaw with my pic: You can still see a potted plant that was in my living room on the left pinch.gif


Well, here's my work of art :-) I Put my heart and soul into it, hope you like it

That looks cool, but I'm sorry to say, but I hate that text, it doesn't match at all. I would make the text bigger and set it on an overlay mode.
