I made this for a friend because she was feeling bad.
I love how the colors came out.
The way I colored it was to create a new layer above the barflamethings and flood it with a color, add random circles of another color, blur it by 50, and set it to multiply.
It made it come out darker, and blended.
EDIT;
I made one for a wolf roleplaying forum for my character. I rather love the moon.
EDITEDIT;
Also tried my hand at making your avatar because I was bored.
