Did you...

looks great, although i think there needs to be alot more white space at the top. The "smoke" is dividing the peice in half, need to let the eye be able to move around the smoke.

Very nice and creative style. My only suggestion would be adding more detail in the eyes and more smoke. Good job.

But I love Smoking.

If it kills SO BE IT.

Changed it to better quality...But hey who actually knows a fully proof way to get the good quality out from illustrator?!
I have always been using the save as .psd and then opening in photoshop but now I noticed that, that even don't work very good.

Save as .eps? Photoshop will ask you the size you want from the eps file.

yeah just save it as an .eps or .ai then PS asks you what resolution you want it at.. just put in a larger number for a bigger image

Thanks guys, I knew I could count on you!
Never knew photoshop could open ai files.
But there isn't any way to get the layers in to photoshop is there?

if you export it as a .psd i think you can do that

Duo - yup I could do that but then I'm loosing the quality again.
But I think I will manage now that I know about the ai and eps.

You could try saving the layers out at PDF then use the script in PS that lets you import multiple PDFs to layers.

Sorry I'm tired, I hope this helps.
