Well folks, here you have one of my first photoshop images. I did it way back when with PS 4.0 and, as you can see, I broke every single photoshop rule in my book now.
There's the generous helping of filters, abuse of lighting effects, abuse of the clouds filter, and, hell, there's even a lens flare thrown in for good measure.
Although, at the time, I have to admit I was pretty pleased with the damn thing. ~sigh~ Takes me back...
