Description
Here is the reworked Omega Draken in 2-D (just like the title says). I took 5 images with different levels of rendered light flare in Photoshop 7 and layered them in Image Ready. After that I jumped to PS7 to save as Gif for web and back to IR to save optimized. All this to bring you a simple yet gradual eye flare in 2-D. I know some of you, if not most of you know how to pull off this little trick, but I was asked how I did this with a simple 2 frame animation, so I decided to explain it. I hope someone finds this helpful, not that I don't mind sharing what little I do know. Sometimes I just feel a bit silly 'cause I can't say I know much more than this.
Comments of either kind are welcome.
Enjoy and have a blessed night or day pending on your location on our little world.

A click to full size will show the animation, unfortunately at this size it got a little cartoonie and washed out. Suggestions on how I might remedy this would be apriciated.
Neat!
Nice!
Looks neat with out the animation! Nicely done!
Great work, nice animation! Well done!
Hmmm...not familiar with Image Ready, but it turned out very nice, with or without the animation.
