well, here it is: an image of the character a "recently" made a flash of...
i wanted to create a rather dark atmosphere, which worked well, however ^^.

i'm also happy with the sword and the glow and everything.

still no tablet... still working with paths. and i'm glad i chose photoshop and not flash this time :).

the credits to the image i used for creating the background belong to someone anonymous - unfortunately there was no signature or anything on the image, else i would mention him / her here.
