This is cute! How did you do the textures on the tree trunk? I'm currently working on a piece (https://www.weasyl.com/submission/726923/spring-dream-lupine-wip) and I have a lot of bark to do :p
Oh my god that's so beautiful! :O I used a photographic texture for my basics, putting it on an overlay layer above the basic shading. I warped it a little to wrap around the tree more realistically, and painted on top of it so it wouldn't look like just a texture.
It's so refreshing to know you use shortcuts too! I feel guilty sometimes when I try to texture my way through what would otherwise be monotonous details.
I'm glad you like the piece :) It's been sitting for a couple of years now, but someday I will return to it...Right now I'm experimenting with different programs, which I think I can later use to finish it. Thank you for the tips!

Cute little peeking fox! If I was really into vinyls and such I'd definitely get one, but I'm more for the CDs xP
Also loved watching you create this, your background work is always so lovely!
