OOH Look, I made a crappy Valentines banner.  It's transparent and the hearts are partially translucent... They will take and blend with most of the 3 background colors available.  I personally dig the gray... Trippy.  I was aiming to make some sort of bleeding heart banner but the effects weren't with me.  *shrug*

Here are two of my final sculptures that took a day each to build and more time here and there to smooth out and finesse... The front most piece doesn't look quite like it does now, I've warped it more than it was, then I had to play 'compete with nature' and use some techniques to fill in and fight the cracks.  You might think these were easy to make, but they were two of the three of my most difficult because I defy the very nature of what the clay wanted to do.  Trust me ... It so didn't want to do this.  It's one of those things I was known for though, getting clay to do things others thought it might not be able to do.  Though I admit... I with I had spent a little more time on the front most piece.

wow... this actually looks awesome small.

I might add another entry without the dark gray heart.

it's a little busy with it.

It wasn't that it was hard to draw, it was just bad execution.  First my text obscured too much, then I chopped it, then I thought... I can add more green ghost!  Then when I expanded my canvas, I forgot how to be able to use the new portion of the canvas (add new layer, merge...).  I imagine I could have done a better job, ... actually, not really ... I got what I wanted.  I also did this in an effort to see if transparent PNG's work on vox ... THEY DO! :D

This makes me happy because I noticed some crappiness that couldn't be helped in making transparent gifs... Pixelation, color drift, ... not that I ever thought it was an awesome format.  It's just, sometimes, it tool a bit of extra time cleaning and fixing images.  Then again, this is freeware!
