It doesn’t look exactly right. The lightning isn’t proportional to the main beam and the picture’s contrast looks wrong. Which movie are you trying to duplicate? GB1 was drawn and GB2 was rendered I believe. ---

More GB2ish is what I was aiming for. Thanks for the input! ---

Constructive criticism: The beams are blurry and nee da more defined, solid shade of color. Though I think you’ve got the streams themselves down! ---

Thanks for the input. I made them a little blurry to make it seem like a lot of movement from the beam when the picture was “snapped” to give it a relistic type feel. Yeah, Ive been trying it work on the proton beam color itself, still need to play with it a bit ---

i doesnt look that bad mate, if anything i would say make the electric more of a deep blue. otherwise its actually pritty good. i attempted a proton beam on photoshop, layer after layer, heres the final peice, im still not that happy with it tho. heres the link to it on this site [http://www.gbfans.com/fans/art/ghostbusters/12715/1/](http://www.gbfans.com/fans/art/ghostbusters/12715/1/) ---

Yeah they are a pain to get just right, Im still working on Mine trying to get the right color down and contrast etc. Good job so far!
