I have been thinking of doing a shadow layer in PSP X using the characters render and then offsetting it a bit only on the wings layer, that way I can render it without having to go into lighting effects in C5.  Right now I am only using a sunlight source to make it look semi realistic.  As a side note, I started playing around with the simple backdrop and added a pre made country out building and did some work in PSP X and it came out so well I am thinking of using a different layer altogether for the pixie.  I'll attach a WIP image of the backdrop with the cottage so you can see what I mean about lighting though.  It is going to be very tricky to get the pixie to have the same feel as the backdrop.  Very Normal Rockwell-ish.  This took about two hours of postwork in PSP X so let me know if you like it.
