and with suggestions & ideas from exile, it turned into this...

(these are 1024x768, look at the second one full size to get rid of the jagged edges) /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

How\'d you do the swirly line thingo\'s in the background of it all? :\

[Tami]

the purple swirly things were done the same way as the \"explosion\" backgrounds, I added the icicle looking thing on a different layer.

Nem...it\'d probably be easier to say what I didn\'t use LOL

the polygon lasso tool for the crystal spiky things, lens flare, lighting effects, 3D render, tech brushes, blending options (most of them), smudge, blur, sharpen, dodge, burn, sponge, about 30 layers, the gradient tool, different layer options, different opacities, styles, wind...there I think that covers all of it. /blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' />
