This is for ~k-u. She knows why. :heart:

Working on this was definitely very enjoyable, although I did the character-blending-with-the-background thing again. I'm seriously going to start working in layers from now on.

The WIP title was "emperor_cock", but I figured it's not really appropriate :P

Listened to Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things while doing it. I love when Neil's reading his stories to me XD;

. CLOSE-UP
. progress images

. Photoshop CS4, Painter X
. Wacom Graphire3 tablet
. textures from here and there, including close-up shots of my budgie. Feathers, whee!

Thanks :D

I experimented with textures and custom pattern brushes in Painter a lot, and believe me, it took a lot less than what it may seem (I am not a very patient person, sadly).
