Haha I kinda realized you forgot. Well, tell ya what, if you can do everything (get you're partner and you'reself decided on a theme and give me you're tags) before my voting thread has expired I'll make you a voting thread. :D
Usually it would be too late, but I really don't want this to be a crap tournament, so try you're best to get the stuff done.
Ehm..... Really, I tried before. I did, I really did. And I failed! >.< You can ask 22 he asked for one too, but when I tried it was too like editorial.
I could barely describe what I did in each step, with the style I used.... its all give and take, and guess and check.
I basically just brush over and over and over with a hard brush. The size of the brush fluctuates in size of course, but the size of the strokes get smaller as it gets closer into the foreground for the most part. [/too much confusing text] xD
Please don't hate me for being confusing, hah! *shot'd*
