Hey, guys (and girls)! My friend drew a line drawing of a soldier and I asked him if I could borrow it to scan it in and colour it in on Photoshop. So, heres my results: http://img156.echo.cx/my.php?image=soldier17hu.jpg
I used lots of textures, alpha channels, and just coloured in from scratch (no I did'nt make the face), it was really fun and took me a long time. [confused] Hope you like it.

hahaha, nice work! Not what I expected at all.

Coloring books are very useful, child and adult alike.

:} That was fun! I like how you used the face image with the drawn on beard and the bright and interesting texturing for the clothes! Looks cool!

(Took forever on my dial-up to load though, kind of a whopper! But I made good use of the time feeding the dog, having a goat round-up with Larry and Moe (our illustrious duo), made dinner, and folded the laundry -- and then your pic was ready for viewing!!! 8D Sure wish we had DSL here........

P.S. Did ya notice anything of the earthquake tonight which was located off Crescent City???? Didn't feel any ground rumbling here, but I have been in others..... just wondering.

Thanks Maya.

Oh man, I sure did feel that earthquake! They even issued a brief tsunami warning, but then they canceled it. It shook my whole house even, but nothing fell or broke. I thought it was pretty exiting. 8} [confused]

[saywhat] Wow! Glad you and yours there are all okay! I know it can be pretty freaky, Crescent City has had it's tidal waves before and there's still large driftwood logs across the highway which were tossed up and smashed through beachfront businesses.

After all the shakers I've been in, while living in Calif., none of them compared, though, to the one I went through in Port Angeles, Washington, one afternoon...the ground rolled for several very long minutes and seemed to worsen -- which got scary. You could not walk, or even stand without hanging onto something, and so the best thing was just to brace myself in a doorway and hang on. Amazingly nothing fell off shelves or broke! A stomach turning roll ...and I didn't know a house could bend with something like that! It was awesome though! [stuned]

I tried living in Florida a couple of years ago, but after going thru there hurricane season I turned tail came back home (NYC). I can't imagine going thru earthquakes }P

earthquakes hit without any warning not like hurricanes or tornados
