Err... Morbid, I had already done everything in paths and vector masks. I'll have to download the ZIP you sent me, but I don't see what you could have fixed unless I included the wrong files in the ZIP or something...
Thanks for all the compliments guys, I sent 'em to GG yesterday so they'd be ready for whoever wins the scrim tournament.
EDIT: Ah, I see, the finishing touches I added at the last minute and the bolt and background layer masks. I had converted the background to a vector mask at one point but I must have lost it in the shuffle between iterations or something. I must have rasterized the bolt vector mask at one point, too. Well thanks, Morbid. I probably would've been quite confused when I went to enlarge it and seen my bolt and background deteriorate mysteriously. This was actually the first significant work I'd done with paths (and vector masks), too. Before this it's just been goofing around with 'em and such.
