Yeah, it's an avatar. Aye, it's a contest entry. Yup, it's for =c2usaf2004's contest. Of course that light saber is completely hand-vectored, and yeah, it took forever to do. "Id like something along the lines that matches my art", so I thought I'd do something to match his sweet Star Wars stuff. "You can add C2USAF2004 in there somewhere if it fits or its feasible", so I think it looks pretty sweet behind the light saber like so.
Jason: If you like it and want to go with something along the same idea, I'm more than willing to change anything that you think would make it better.
And you guys, tell me what things you think would make it better.
Yeah, when working with bitmap image backgrounds etc, it's a good idea to go with something massive. Though I like the nice clean lines that come out of vector shapes.
