Description
OK, I'm still fighting with my comp and of course it usually wins, but every once in awhile I'm able to battle a little something out of it ~ like this Gothic beauty. Take that, ya bastid! One of these days I might be able to afford to get someone to take a look at it. Until then... :(
I'm kind of flying in the dark with no instruments on my main rig, it'll only run in "Safe Mode" and the display has horizontal lines running all over it which makes it extremely tough to see what's going on, whether setting things up in DS or trying to edit. Matter of fact, to get a clear view of of what I've done I need to upload the final png's/jpg's to my thumb drive and then take a look at things on my antique PIII with an old 17" CRT monitor that sits in the guest bedroom... oh, the humanity! It was too late to see I'd put a tad too much "softness" on the foremost pile of skulls in PSPXI trying to add a touch of DoF ~ I'll have to live with it I guess.

Dang! What a PITA. Bummer, but this still looks good. Amazing for what you had to do to get it. ")
Great looking image to me, its always a PITA when things go pear shaped and you can't afford to get it sorted out.. But you have done a mighty fine job under the circumstances... Top job!!
Comps love um and hate them at the same time... You did a great job...
Wonderful image! Fantastic considering the obstacles you're working with. Horizontal lines sounds like maybe something with the graphics card. Just a guess. I hope you can get it sorted out soon.
Looks great love the character.
