Now these other two are the same pics I just used a template that Outrider posted in the file section. It gives a rain, snow or dust effect, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

The clone is good too but the lazer from the gun is supposed to look like a small blue lightsaber. __________________ Rangers lead the Way!

I would suggest blurring the background and then making the CT smaller. I think the scale doesn't look right; as if the background is supposed to be a huge landscape.

So yeah the glow does make it look large, but given the blaster size wasn't really sure. -Clone Trooper looking to cut n paste agreed, but was looking at the blaster effect then the background. Same with the lighting and sizing. Now as for the rain effect Outrider posted the template and I wanted to try it out. I'm not to crazy about the Clone Trooper one, but I like the Kit Fisto one. So here's what I think is a better picture

However, and I may be mistaken, I think blaster bolts in Star Wars have a white center like the middle of a lightsaber. That would be the only thing I might change. In fact, I think I'll see if I can upload my laser blast template (also good for lightsabers) into the files section. It's a Photoshop file, though, so if you don't have that program I doubt you'd be able to use it. __________________ is on indefinite hiatus...

That would be great, it's always good to see that there are guys like you SM that step and offer help. I do have Photoshop so I don't see a problem using it.
Thanks again
