Hey all this here`s my first Real thread.Anyway I`m thinking about getting criticised for my lil`image ... now the point of it is to make the most realistic picture-to-life photo-realistic lightning.Now the attached image is the one of a made lightning I`ve worked on for like 2 weeks.I know I`m only 14 but I do get some payed work from my dad`s work, for simple sites and stuff.Anyway one of my dad`s colleagues asked him to ask me to make some lightning images as he had no experience.So I took me some net lessons (*cough* good-tutorials *cough*) but there I only found a few tutorials and I combined some to get this.Now I know what you`re thinking : This here nagging newbie got Xenofex 2 and made this in a 3 seconds.FALSE.Made it legit.True a friend of mine has it and that has inspired me.What ya think ?
