    Very Choppy Render.
    While using the PenTool Put Your Dots Closer Together And Feather At 0.5 Pixels

    Wow, you definitely chose one heckava pic for your first pen tool render. = /

    Okay, with the pen tool - the outlines can fool you very easily. Do not place your points on the outer edge of the outline. Put it on the place where the outline looks the darkest. Otherwise, you'll end up with loads of white spots, like you have now, or simply end up with no outline at all. Another big tip is that you zoom in over 1000% for a pic this size. That'll let you see the outline much better.

    I used to feather myself - mistake. White spots tend to appear. Avoid that feather for solid objects at all costss. Only use it for shiny flares/light etc.

    Nevertheless, great job on your first pen tool render. Just try to follow those tips, and I'm sure your results will be much better. ;)

    Oh, ja, try to render more of those GA Grahpic pics. They're good stuff from what I've seen so far.
