Hello. ;)
A bin, yes. What I was trying to do, was getting a metallic look for it.
And I'd also like to hear your comments about the smoke coming out of it. Should I dither it more or just leave it like that?
:)

Use some other ditter patterns than just 50% and solid

I think this is what you mean:

Any better?

Looks better, but I might recommend making the edges of the smoke, especially higher up there, blended towards darker shades. I'd also say give it more of cloud-like shape, "billowing" or whatnot. At the moment the smoke still just looks a little too flat. A background around the trash fire might be nice too in order to add the variety and color that a trash can will inevitably lack. Maybe, a subtle red reflection on the metal will improve the color variation as well as give the impression of intense heat and fire.

Smoke generally doesnt blend from dark to light, that just seems like a giant gradient coming out of the bin. Smoke has form, with dark and light patches. I made a quick edit to show an idea for the smoke:

Feron, that still doesn't look right. You made it look like a solid object is connected to the trash can.
-
True, but unfortunatley i dont have more time, it was only quick one to show my idea.
-
I admit the smoke doesn't look like smoke very much, so I'm going to work on that.
Thanks for the comments everyone, a new version of this will come tomorrow, if I have time. :)

Looks like that DNA ball and chain stuff, I liked your second one better.

Comments are welcome. :)

Looks great :D

Nice background. I like the one with the black outline on the smoke better - it matches the style of the bin more. ;)

With you permiss a little edit:

Wow, that's a nice edit, and I like it very much. Thanks! :)
EDIT: I made a new version of it, and it looks a lot better: (http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/9488/roskis56ou.gif)
I wanted to keep the black outline, however. :)
