Jared P vs Tom W Celebrity Match - Rework

As I continue to reformat and repost some of the old matches to the Arena Island archives, I decided to rework CM-24 a bit, the match between Tom W and Jared P that is worked up to from the very beginning of the series to this point.  Initially, my concept was to have Tom win the championship tournament and Jared, who was out of the tournament due to a broken hand, take the belt from him, but as with all my work, it tends to evolve and change as I get into it, and I go with the flow.

Anyway, it was one of the two matches where I attempted to create arrwork instead of photo-manipulations to illustrate the story.  Frankly, it was early work and most images pretty much sucked, so I decided to give another go at it, adding some new images and reworking the old.  It is a work in progress so don't go running over to the Yahoo Group and then complaining "where is the story?".  It will take a while, and this is the first image I've worked on, a new addition.  It's the part of the story where Jared thows Tom over the ringside barricades and into the audience where he has a cohort lying in wait.  I tried to give the impression from sitting in the audience seeing Tom flying through the air at you.  Run or catch him, that is the question!   Edit:  btw, with the change in the Blogger image viewer, the image that opens in the dark background is not full-sized.  To see it full size (at least with Mac) you need to click on that image and select "view in a new window".  Depending upon the size of your screen, you may have to use the magnifier to see it full size in the new window.  This goes for all the images with this "upgraded" Blogger image viewing system.
