Cool, Lou! If you go to some of the other artists' sites/message boards, they'll massacre you if you use the lens flare. I, however, still use it and find it can quite enhance certain images. I have to admit, though, that at first, I used it for no reason except cuz it was kewl. Now I actually try to use it like in my above picture and in your above picture, to show that a light source is affecting the "camera."

I used to compete in the Photoshop contests at Worth 1000 in another lifetime. There the lens flare (and other "gratuitous" use of filters) was considered a Cliche and was disallowed. If you used a lens flare in one of your entries it would be disqualified, period.
I generally don't like to use effects that call attention to themselves, but in this case I thought it was appropriate. The way MEL drew her hand it was obvious she would be summoning her power with it, and the lens flare seemed to be the easiest way to display the use of her power. Still, there was a part of me that felt a little dirty using it, going back to my Worth days...

I have two more Post-Boot Original pics that I colored (actually it's two different versions of the same pic), but I can't post them here due to content. I will link to them however if anyone wants to see them.
The pic is from the Erotic Gallery on Kat's Jeff Moy Sketchboard. The drawing is of Kinetix cooling down on a hot day in her quarters. The pic was originally of her in her "pointy ears and tail" phase, but I altered it to reflect her normal human form as well. I'll link to both versions.

Cru, Lou, Drake, MEL, Dean--awesome! The post-booters are lookin' good! This actually makes me sad that we won't be seeing these guys anymore (for awhile at least).
Dean, I have a feeling the posters of LW will be FIGHTING like crazy for that Kinetiz pic as they're avatar . Poppin' Hotties!

Thanks you guys! I got some nifty new pens, so I couldn't resist inking the Jazmin drawing. I was concerned about losing some of the "life" in the Zoe drawing, so I didn't ink it and the Thunder drawing just feels right as a sketch. I still have a couple other PB Original characters that I've sketched, but they're not done yet.

Lou: On you KQII pic with the lense flare(?), it looks really good. And you used it perfectly, there this one artist, Chris...something something, who completely over does it, put your use (and Dean's, because I look over his stuff a lot) was right on.
