Create a shape using the Shape Editor Tool for a shadow under the right wing. Apply a small amount (0.8pix) of Feathering using the Change Size of Feather Region slider at the top right side of the Infobar. (While you are at it, add a small amount of feathering to the eyeball and to the iris). Make the shadow a slightly darker value of the dark part of the eye (RGB 135, 135, 175). Apply a Circular, Mix transparency to the shadow dragging the center of the transparency just under the wing.
Move the eyeball and wings to the left as shown. Add two rectangles, one starting in the middle of the left wing and extending to the top of the eyeball and ending on the right side of the background rectangle, and filled pale yellow. Add a white rectangle the height of the eyeball that also extends to the right side of the background. Apply a Linear transparency to each rectangle starting on the left at 20% and ending short of the edge of the page at 100%. Apply 6pix of feathering to each rectangle. Bring the eyeball and wings to the front.
One last step. Select all the elements and Arrange > Create Bitmap Copy... Select the True Color Color Depth option, hold down the Shift key (to place the bitmap directly on top) and press Create. Apply a Circular, Stained Glass transparency. Drag the center of the circular transparency over the center of the eyeball. Change the center Transparency setting to 100% and the outer setting to 0%. And that does it. I'll post a photo of the new tattoo in the Xara Conference for all to see as soon as I get the courage to have it done. Questions, comments, suggestions? Please use the feedback form on the next page to send me your thoughts. Gary W. Priester
