A spot more transparency will add the a bit of magic.

Create a 300 pixel square and apply a solid RGB fill as shown.

Create an ellipse 300 pixels wide by 170 pixels tall.

Select the square and apply a Flat, Bleach Transparency. Move the Transparency slider on the Infobar until the amount is 70%. This adds a purplish tint to all the checkerboard panels.

Select the ellipse and apply an Elliptical, Bleach Transparency. This transparency adds a diffusion (fuzziness) to the glowing eye.

Compare this to the version on the last page and you'll see the subtle difference.

And here's the final image.

So, what do you think? Was it good for you too? Did you under- stand everything?

Too hard? Too easy? Just right?
