Wash your mouth out with soup. <br />I can't say 'soap' as that would be cruel... he he.Russ Nicholsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842016621328698413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-78867619938640984842012-08-25T11:25:46.186+01:002012-08-25T11:25:46.186+01:00Thank you Tim, The 'Trolltooth Wars' pictu...Thank you Tim, The 'Trolltooth Wars' pictures were done as large piece but this [the end paper] was done as two separate pieces and then touched up and joined in Photoshop. If you like I can post the two 'original' pages so you can see the detail better. As to how I 'see it' to fit in all the action. Well although my work is stylised I tend to think of the 'scene' cinematically or 'real'. In this case I was given carte blanche so was able to play with what I wanted to show happening.
