Are you seeing what I'm seeing? How the stinking heck did this happen?? I'm usually no good at this! Wow, I needed some motivation to finish up that art trade. Looks like I found it.

gave me permission to color this in. Took quite a bit of time, but I did it, and boy did I have fun with this!

Relining and yellow was done in Pixlr, which was a big mistake 'cause later I did it in gimp and I had to color the rest in using the wand continuously. The electricity coming from BB's stinger was a bit hard, but I duplicated the layers and made one with a motion blur (it still looks awful colored though). Glowey effects were made with the Guassian blur, which I managed to find out thanks to this tutorial, [link] There's 4 parts to that. Good luck!

Shadow effects were from using black on another layer at about 25% (Which to me look awesome!) There maybe some misplaced shadows, but that's because I'm not very good with them

As for the background, I just love blue. Blue is my all time favorite color (as you may have noticed from some of my armor designs)

She also asked for some advice so here it is.

Never use 2 different programs for the same pic.

Jk, Jk. Um, I'm not really sure what advice to give...
Oh! Um, the direction of the light source was a bit tricky to figure out (hence the misplace of some) so I tried to think what would be blocked from the light. I don't know if you already knew that, but I have nothing else really. I'm an extreme amateur.

P.S I think I'm turning into somewhat of a gimpie.
