Argh, I'm sorry about the lens flare. But I did something really silly. I flattened the image, then saved it; and now I'm stuck with the thing. I'm really annoyed about that, I had planned to put it up here without it, and hope for the best, so please be kind. Anyway it took a good few hours to paint, but ages to to come up with the design.
I learned alot doing it, mainly that I don't like painting straight lines. That and the importance of using the right brush.
Its for a book, some of which can be read online, and I do recommend. www.kiranis.com
