Looking good Matrix - neat concept too

Hi Matrix,

It is looking good. It looks as though you are leaving room for some text above the figure in the hand?

A suggestion about fractal clouds. It is not well known that there are two settings for the fractal fills. Use the Fill Tool and right click on an object with a fractil fill. You will have dpi and a fractal graininess settings.

Reducing the Fractal graininess setting can smooth the clouds making them a little more life like.

In the attached image the rectangle on the left has the default fractal cloud fill, the one on the right has the fractal graininess value set as 2.

Thank you for the feed back. I applied the fill value as 2 and it does looks more like the real thing....a minor change can make all the difference...there won't be any text above the image...it will be the graphics for the front of a brochure so I just stretch the cloud....I can make the cloud smaller and center the hand and image on the cloud...looking at it now maybe I brought the hand and the image too low on the cloud

Neat Bob! Could also be a hip-flask with emergency reserve tanks

Thanks, John. I thought about hip flasks when I was working on it.
