Very nice. I like it alot.
I was just wondering what dithering technique you plan on using in the final
output? Right away I noticed alot of onion-skinning in the sky and it is a
little distracting.

The dithering technique I use is...

1. In Paint Shop Pro 5.0, decrease color depth to 256 colors,
use optimized median cut, error diffusion (I think that's PSP's answer to a
Floyd-Steinburg dither algorythm), and then reduce color bleeding (no matter
what software you use, Floyd-S is always the bomb).

2. Immediately re-increase color depth back up to 24 bit and save image as
.JPG.

I'm totally in the market for a better way to reduce .TGA onion-skinning,
if you have one, please don't hesitate to share.

Once again, nice work!

P.S. the posted image shows how I dither stuff, sorry if the sun didn't come
out right,
I would tweek that a little. And please don't take offense, I'm only sharing
an idea.
