To ZeaLitY: Yes I have it, and I think I should give somebody some credit for it, but I don't know who :?
Well if he/she finds out that I used his/her image, well, thanks jeje  :lol:.
I was thinking of making some other picture but I don't have any ideas, sooo I'll ask you!
What do you think? What should I do next?

Really cool, but I can't help but think I'd like it a lot more if the waterfalls just flowed down in, like, long rivulets (even though physics says otherwise...but wtf, it's a floating island!)...

Yeah, maybe you're right about that!  :lol:

Very beautiful job.. And Welcome to the compendium!!

Really cool, but I can't help but think I'd like it a lot more if the waterfalls just flowed down in, like, long rivulets (even though physics says otherwise...but wtf, it's a floating island!)...

or maybe at least thinner waterflows, but still keeping the mist effect.. Anyway, it still looks good as it is!!  :D

I love it. Very much. What I think would be cool, though, if instead of the in-game Zeal, it was realistic, like the waterfalls and the clouds. That would make it more convincing.

Well, there's already Satoh's 3D Zeal thingy...I like this one because it's kind of like Zeal coming into reality from the game version. I just wish the waterfalls were longer, maybe something like Awakened's version (http://www.chronocompendium.com/Forums/index.php/topic,5270.0.html)...?

I haven't seen that. Oh, well. It's still pretty cool. Better than anything I can do.

I liked that idea tea, I'll try to make it more realistic. I've nothing to do tomorrow, because I live in Argentina, and tomorrow is the independence day... Well, come to think of it, who asked me that?  :lol:

Excellent craftsmanship DRM! Welcome! How did you do the cloud overlays? Transparency? Custom cuts? Semi-transparent erasing?

I just used a mask ans some customs brushes (so you could say that I "erased" some parts of the islands) And just used different layers. It's a kind of magic hehe ;)

I figured as much... I was just wondering if you altered the Zeal islands or used masks; it would appear both. :P At any rate, kudos fellow Photoshopper(or GUMPer if you use that...)!

Yes, I did it with photoshop cs3, the islands aren't edited, well, I put some emphasis on the colors a little bit, but most of it it's exactly as it is in the game. Except for the waterfalls, of course.
