thanx! im getting into the harder areas now. A lil intimidated lol.

are you using GM for the details? or is that done in PS?

GM? Im using Photoshop and Image Ready.

I thought you're meaning Illustrator when you say "Illy" and GM is gradient mesh in Illustrator. Your initial work could have been done in either PS or AI. I was thinking that gradient mesh would probably be the only way to do what you're doing unless you're using PS. Not important though, just curious. Looks pretty good!
