Have a listen, I think it fits the pic's mood very well~
So this came out better than I ever dreamed possible, and in a much shorter time frame as well... I surprised even myself.
icvulpes's Fursona is part fish part fox and his design was such a pleasure to work with. I would very much like to do this character again sometime and have the opportunity to simulate the background again... now that was the real challenge for me.
Things I learned:
New Shading Style (woo!!!)
Fur Texturing (woo!!!)
Background Water Texturing (woo!!!)
Applying Sunset Effects via Gradient Mapping
I was excited about all four of these things, and I hope I can retain the technique as it came out VERY well. This baby's going up in my featured!
Thank you very much icvulpes for the opportunity to work with him.
