Description

This is another one of the finished letters for my psuedo children's book on fears for a Uni project. Full explanation of the project here: [link] and here: [link]

I wouldn't mind somefeedback on this - specifically getting the mushroom cloud to look right.

What is already there was made using stock of clouds I shot a couple of years ago when I was trigger happy with my first DSLR. To isolate them I used the B&W function in PS to knock the blue to black then blending modes with colour treatment on top.

I have also attempted doing it in Corel painter, in much the same way I did the flames in B is for Burning, but it just didn't look right.

So....any thoughts anyone?

L is for Lightning: [link]
V is for Vampire: [link]

ooh this one is excellent. :D I like the placement of the letter and the text too. And what a clever way to make a mushroom cloud. If you're having trouble thinking about what they look like, a quick google image search helps you get a grasp of what people consider to look like a mushroom cloud. I usually think of the ring being lower, closer to the stem.
