Here is something that I worked VERY hard on and took me a couple of hours to get the colors to blend just right.

No, I did not use any major program for this. Believe it or not, this was 100% completely made in paint. This goes to show that something amazing can be made there. o.O I made this specifically for an avatar for me here on the forums, but I wanted it to be custom and unique, so I have created a Forum Moderator avatar. The stars AND the crown were completely made by me, taking hours of my time to make it perfect. Nowhere on the internet will you find an image close to this. I personally think the crown looks amazing, and have never seen one that looked like that, ever. The "f" in it stand for "Forums" So I just thought I'd share it with you to see! :o Tell me how I did, I'd love to hear! ;)
Nice...
nice one bill.
