Not really for shading, and not screentones, but pop artsy - you know what I mean.<BR/><BR/>Wow - whatta strange arch enemy. Neat but not somethin' I woulda expected comics in those days.<BR/><BR/>I agree with the shadow.

I think it gives it more life and a finalized look. <BR/><BR/>The only part I'd drop would be the dual shadow on Shazam's shoulder from Mr. Mind. Maybe a little too dark - maybe it could be the same tone as the rest of the shadowing. Anyway, it creates a focal point for me that I don't think I should be looking at.<BR/><BR/>The whole thing looks great though. If I saw this on the shelf, I'd pick it up! Great finishing touches and a very professional piece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02071880763789850123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907494.post-1138597243939061152006-01-29T23:00:00.000-06:002006-01-29T23:00:00.000-06:00Thanks Smook.

I get more flexibility in shape , line , and editing in Flash.
