hello Jeb, i will have to withdraw my entries because i traced a duck from your picasa site. if the photos aren't yours, i can't use them.... if they are yours, let me know and i can reinstate my entry.
either way i will rework the duck and submit a new one to you tomorrow.
no, they are not mine, I was just getting them off google images to use as examples. Man I love that image though, hope you can use something similar. As for the fire, I'm not sure it would look all that great with yours, but I was thinking maybe some "smoldering" post-fire smoke coming up from the beak might be cool.
The only other thing I can think of is add both words "RedHot RedHead" to the big text on banner.
here is my entry with the re-worked duck. i made him in more of a 'tucked' pose as opposed to the more 'head-up' version from before. also added the text change you requested. i will work on a version withteh smoke like you also requested.
and please mark the original entry 'not interested,' if you would....that entry will not be valid, so its no use keeping it around. i have tried to remove it myself, but there seems to be a problem.
let me know if you have any other ideas you'd like to see implemented. thanks.
I love entry # 10, only change I think might make it better is to add just a hint of black or darker line to some of the smoke so it stands out just a little more.
Also, lose the "e" in jerkey...should be jerky , at least that's the spelling version I prefer!
Thanks again. I think I am about ready to call this a done deal.
hi Jeb, here is the updated version with the extra 'e' taken out of jerky. also added a slight dark stroke to the smoke to make it stand out like you said. let me know if there are any more changes you'd like to see.
