Want to say thanks for the tuts and forum. I have learned a ton!

Welcome to CrystalXP! I'm glad you like it. You can post your Tuxes in the tutorial topic next time though. They are pretty good. Perhaps you should make them on a transparent background next time though.

Altough the left eye looks a bit weird, it's generally good Nice crystalization

Good work mike parsons , the tux need to be reformed a little bit though .
Have a great stay .

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure what I did to that left eye lol. Too much reflection added I guess. I am trying to work out a mascot for our website, so I have plenty of reading too do and to figure out what character would work best. Then comes the design phase  

Yes, left eye (it's actually Tux's right eye) is a bit too glossy

Impressive indeed!

the first tux is beautiful.

Keep it up.

Thanks Truth The first one has our forum logo on it. The glass effect on it turned out well I think.
