Hey, I just finished this piece, lot of inspiration from Ice's idea's, and plenty from deviantART. [IMG] Yeah, it's vertical.
Ah I see, so a photo manipulation.
Well, looks like you just added in the bear and blurred it for depth, looks decent though, and please include the signature in your post, I can...
