Blad Pro is wonderful! I know that many many web srtists are using it right now
for making "custom metals" and so forth.
I took a peek at your "icons" and you've done a nice job.. the only thing that I
would suggest is that 18K is way too big for things like this. Check out
www.ulead.com and if you can afford it, pick up their "Smart Saver" I swear by
it for compressing graphics... and it has been worth every single penny that I
have spent on it. There are also places on the web that will compress your
images for you... or you can look into Emblaze Web Charger (it does have a bug
though - which leaves a white pixel in the corner of everything) or even Adobe
Imageready which does a pretty good job with compression as well.
Good job though.. and have fun with Blade Pro!

"...Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all.
It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly
the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever
the pain, because the pain of not being true is far, far greater..."
