Very nice. Interesting choice of text for the backdrop; any reason you chose Beowulf?
:icondisintegration:
That's not beowulf, actually. :P

I beg to differ, with all due respect and humility. I am an Anglo-Saxon, scholar, after all. I don't mean to insult or detract from your great work at all though. My apologies.

Nevertheless, by way of evidence.

Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan. þæt wæs god cyning!
Ðæm eafera wæs æfter cenned,
geong in geardum, þone god sende
folce to frofre; fyrenðearfe ongeat
þe hie ær drugon aldorlease
lange hwile. Him þæs liffrea,
wuldres wealdend, woroldare forgeaf;
Beowulf wæs breme (blæd wide sprang),
Scyldes eafera Scedelandum in.
Swa sceal geong guma gode gewyrcean,
fromum feohgiftum on fæder bearme,

Ah, I thought you were talking about the typography, not the actual text. My apologies. The reason was purely aesthetic. The shape of the format of the text somewhat ressembled the shape of the butterfly wings, so I used it to take advantage of that particular situation.

Well, I think it was a beautiful choice, and is a great piece of work. Sorry if I was over zealous in my "proof." Just an old scholarly habit that is dying hard.

I admire your work.

I really like this. You did an excellent job on making it look realistic and all the colors math well and blend together. I love the words as the background, great job!
