whew, finished. that's the halloween '05 pic of me in the half angel half devil costume, and bgcolor removed! that took forever and it turned out like crap so i won't boast about it but it does bring out the saturation in my skin tone more. i wasn't sure whether i should take out the color inside the frame of the wing but decided against it. well actually, i did it and it turned out crap so i decided against it. figured it could pose as sort of a fairy wing effect too. or that's just being lazy trying to talk out of it. the fur was hard to do. which is also why i ended up doing a crap job, but whatever. i'm happy with the result.
