Description
Its done! Faster than I thought too! ^w^I have heaps of time left before it closes, so now the question is... Should I animate it? I mean just make the little glowy orb things move a little? Or do you think it would kill it?

Well I saw this tutorial and kinda mixed my own way of coloring with it. Which includes using around 5-6 shades of a color to cell shade instead of the usual 2 or 3. And since its kinda hard to mix colors in Flash (for me anyway) after Im done, I get a color thats used quite a bit in the picture (in this case, orange) and cover the whole thing with it in an other layer and set the transparentcy quite low, so it ties it together. And then, If theres anything that should pop out more than the rest, I put them on another layer above it (like the orbs and lines in this one). It really makes the difference! [link] ^w^
But now Im just rambling, You dont even use Flash, do you?
