    UPDATE: Well, one nice thing about heading a thread is that you always have the "power" to alter or change or delete the message, YIPPEE!!

    (08/06/2002) Well, I am happy to say that I have completed the new and improved Moms Angel after loosing the finalized files to a blunder, mostly on my behalf. I was shocked, dismayed and yet I knew I could "do it better" so I did. I like the glow around the inside of the frame, I like shafts of light and the way the lighting plays off of the wings. The bottom of the frame blends more with the cloudy sky instead of a star field. Just little improvements. It's not the original but it is and, I think, better. Now I need to back the darn thing up and make her really safe!! And I can get back to the, lets see, 6 no 7 other art projects I have on the boards.......sigh!! I'm happy!!

    (08/09/2002) I have added in a Golden glow, folks tell me that angels are all diffused with a golden glow, so I added one in and I made the hale with "spiked beams" of light coming off of it, hope it's not too much, but I swear this is the last time. I'm done, really I am!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    (08/11/2002) I flipped the halo and changed the spikey glow to a soft glow around it. I also softened the golden rays that are incorporated into the "Gods Light" decending upon her form and also added a wing shape with fractal plazma with stained glass transparency applied to it, then overlaid it onto the main wing to bring out more detail.

    The file is a bit over the limit and the size is a bit much and I'm sorry about that, any smaller and she would loose way too much detail!!!

    I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks to Maya and Mike for all the help and tips and support using programs of XaraX and PhotoPaint. I would have pulled my hair out if not for the help!!! THANKS BUNCHES!!!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    I can see a wonderful atmospheric quality all around her like she is floating among the clouds--nice touches with all of the elements---and you got the gown's color just like you wished too! Great job Richard!!! I know you are happy and much relieved to complete such a large project! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    ---and Dale---I didn't do anything except answer some questions Richard had about some very minor details...it's completely his vision from the very start, it's not based on me in any way! And I'm certainly no angel!!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    It's great to see her after all these months. Your creative efforts to pull it all together and the outcome are very inspirational.

    I'm sure your Mother will like it too.
