So far, just two entries.

Don't forget that Challenge 52 is due in by midnight tomorrow (20th June). I know it's tough, because I've made my entries and it was a lot harder than I expected—but I have faith in you all! You can do it.

Entries so far: three

Steps: 15


( Ride like the wind )

Also, I was invited to post a tutorial for the previous challenge and I had everything typed up and ready to go when my computer crashed and I lost the tutorial. Since I had the images already uploaded, I decided to post a bare bones version of the tut at my graphics journal.

If anyone's interested, it's this:
