    I like the throne. Most people seem to put some dark halo around objects to give them a bit of lift off the floor - it seems to work pretty well. I have found that as the height of an object gets larger - i.e. arms of a monster as opposed to feet, then making the halo less pronounced and wider seems to give an even greater degree of feeling that its off the ground. Sometimes that's a bit hard to do tho.

    So, if this CC with NC-BY-SA, would you like your throne to be a viewingdale download ?

    Ah, I see the rating thing now. I wasn't logged in before, so it didn't appear.

    I put a small drop shadow or halo around it, (Gimp automates the process, I couldn't do it by hand) but I made it smaller and tighter following Rob's advice. It probably doesn't show up well on the brown background here. I haven't seen what it looks like in context yet.

    If you think it's worthy as a download, I'd be honoured.

    Look for Chit Chat, Sandmann's blog. Enjoy.
