Looks great - you just missed her elbow... :)
Thanks for the words...yeah, I don't know how I did that unless zooming in I worked to the bottom of the screen and not the image. I'm going to practice smoothing the gradients and little touches after. I put in a more...stripedy?...look on her hand holding the wineglass, but it smoothed out. So it needs work, but I like the way it looks.
Thanks for the nice tutorial.

I don't remember if I posted this anywhere, as it's not *art*, but fan fiction, but here's something from the earlier days of the comic:

Somehow, I can't see Nudge quoting either Pink Floyd or Del Shannon.

Great idea and execution. On the other hand, now I have to go through my CDs and find my copy of 'The Wall' just to listen to 'Run Like Hell' while looking at your image.

I'm not an actual Military person, I'm a gubbmint contractor. The guys in the green and tan outfits are doing the hard work, they deserve a lot of good thoughts from you guys back home.
Not that I'd be opposed to it, but there was a distinct lack of nose art on the military vehicles out here. A few nicknames on the ground vehicles, but that was about it. (I did inspire the crew of an MRAP to to pain 'Bonecrusher' on their vehicle when they rolled into my base with the particlar hydraulic arm that the Decepticon had)

I've seen a picture of a Humvee with the Bloody Bun symbol from Sluggy Freelance painted on the front. It would be very awesome if someone used the Wapsi skull gear logo.

No need to apologize! :) This was just as cool and entertaining as the Pink Floyd one. :P

Heh, thanks. :) Hm...with my hindsight being 20/20, it occurs to me that I should have centred the text instead of having it aligned to the left. D'oh. :x
