Wow, I love the detail! It looks very realistic as well. I like the shadows and the pretty green eyes. Awesome work :D

Damn, that's really good. I wish my digital skills were even close to that level. 0_0

The fur texture really does take my breath away.

Thanks, those shadows took forever to get right, even if this was a "speed" painting (took most of the day to do, but I managed to get it all done in less than 24 hours... which I can't usually say about most of my pics).

The green eyes were a bit of a hassle, too, because I don't have any good pictures of my boyfriend's eyes, so trying to get an accurate color without looking too out of place on the dog was a challenge. I had to use the Burn tool so they didn't look demonically bright.

Glad you like it! ^_^

I surprise myself sometimes O_O though I owe a lot to ~Novawuff for her fur tutorial, which really was a lifesaver for me, although I tweaked the techniques a bit to suit my needs.

Glad you like it! Yeah I took a hell of a time to get it all just right (save for the extra whiskers in the photo) but I definitely enjoyed it the whole time. I owe a lot to ~Novawuff and her fur tutorial - it helped me a lot, though I tweaked it to my needs and what worked best for me.
