I wish I could take credit for the background. But it was HEAVILY borrowed from a page in a Talespin comic book (they're supposed to be fighting in Don Karnage's plane).

Thanks for the links! I'm happy with the method I'm using now. But maybe I'll experiment more once I'm more comfortable playing with the colors.


P.S. My current work schedule is seven days a week. But I should have some holiday time off in November. I'm hoping we can make a visit for my birthday. :)
