Can I see how it looks without the hat and text?
Doesn't look as Christmassy but it's up to you bud
Thanks a lot, buddeh!! That's kind of the point. Haha. I want it to be subtle. This is great though, except it seems to be too big to be my av.
It was probably too hard to use the other pic with just fire as the background and the dragon dark as a result of the light source being behind it? The background being there already makes it a lot more difficult I imagine.
Here you go bud. Gif is such a weird format I took things out of the image and the file size got slightly bigger sometimes you reduce the size of a gif and the file size gets bigger or you make it a larger image and the file size gets smaller
Anyway, this one should work bud.
Fits like a glove! Thanks again! Always a pleasure to wear the art of one of SD's finest shoopers!

@Arqueto This wasn't meant to question your skills, btw. I didn't mean it as in it would be too hard for you to do, just that it would take too much effort and time and I imagine there are plenty of avs and other stuff to be shooped.
Staring at my av is actually warming up my face. True story. @Arqueto @giovanni_ss
To be honest bud the one I used was probably harder to cut out. I used the one with the plain BG as it had more detail and the other was darker and lost a bit of detail but had better contrast to make a cutout. I used a combo of channels and then fine-tuned it with the brush.
I think either way I would have still had to use the brush to fine-tune it but either image would have been fine to use. I just picked the one that was showing more of the fine details.
Ah, okay. Yeah, that picture does look sweeter on it's own because it shows more detail. It's insane for actual gingerbread, IMO. Real masterpiece.
But I thought the darkness of a fireplace in the background would create more of a real christmas-y & winter evening atmosphere. But again, this one is great too, otherwise I'd not have posted it.
Request for @SenorFranko. Can you spruce up this av. Something with your legendary wit would be appreciated. Show that there’s a rock in the slingshot. Maybe santa on a sled about to get hit by the rock. And make it proper av size.

Thanks all. You are the best!
@Arqueto can I get a Santa hat on this snake AV please? Kane has mugged me right off this week . Feel free to take any other liberties under artistic advisement. No Shearer bullshit though
