Thanks, Kurt. I'm thinking of making the shoes just all black... orange on feet seems to be a tad distracting. anyone agree? For those keeping up with the cgtalk.com challenge (that this is my entry for), the scenario is to have a toon version of the artist (that's me ) performing a non-computer related hobby. I was thinking of having 'me' be in the middle of cleaning... like vaccuming, washing dishes, scrubbing floors... all at the same time! lol Not that cleaning is a hobby, but it seems like I'm doing it ALLL the time. lol Any other ideas?
