Well on mine I actually used the sand from the render except the sand was above her arms in the original that I had when I did this (I used to have a scan of it where the sand was kind like it is now) and there was also water above that I believe it was a wallpaper. So I had rendered it before and then I took the background and adjusted it so that the little bit of water was under the cake. I also used her hair and did some burning for the shadow which wasn't there on the wallpaper I had Yeah I liked it better too but didn't have time to post it before the thread was closed. >m> I was just about to post it as my SOTW entry. when Sempai locked it oh well.
