You're right! I should turn up the edges. I think I'll do that tomorrow and enhance the 'snack tray' look.

nice work [righton]

i never worked in illustrator [confused] , but after seeing this image, i guess there is a first time for everything.

Smashing L,

Just to give you an idea, the fish were vector images brought into Photoshop where they were blurred some and some lighting was added. Then they were used in Vue d'Esprit 4 as alpha planes. The ropes were done with the rope brush which shipped with Illustrator 8. Then the color and shading was done in Photoshop and the final ropes were applied to the Vue rendering along with the grommets as a last step.

Welles, that is gorgeously done! Love the graphics and especially the water above.

Being a underwater baby whenever I can go diving or snorkeling, there is often very definite sunlight patterns under the water unless of course it's a grey kinda day.
