I love the background on this one... and there isn't many words to describe how good it is. The phrase down the bottom suits it very well. -nodnod- I always liked Quetoka. -glomps him-

This is my werelupe Quetoka. I had a halloween lupe once.. he's in frozenland. I could get another one.. we'll see if I do.. but shrug Anyways.. I spent several hours on this.. I'm pretty happy w/ the results. nod

Gradient tool: dark blue and light light yellow at a diagnol.
Burn tool/Dodge tool: To darken around the edges and make it more rounded. Then to create the trees and such in the bg by just darkening it to those shapes.
I used the following tools for the bg:
Smudge tool: To blend the trees branches and things to make them look not so sketched and unfinished.
Then I used a Filter. At the top, I said "Filter" then "artistic" then "Watercolor" and that's how the bg became that look. I adjusted it a little and viola! I love the watercolor filter.. it's so nice and fun. ^^; But remember, filters are only to be used on layers that have detail already in them... filters are the last thing you do, not the first.

Aw he's a cutie. He looks so sad. What happened? Does he have a story behind him or is that just how the pic turned out?? I love the furry look. It looks very real. He's so awesome I really like him!! One tiny thing, just a suggestion for you. It might look a tiny bit better if his head was a bit bigger. Maybe it's just me but it seems a tiny bit small. Or maybe that was the effect you were trying to get. I dunno. ^^; OH! You know what he reminds me of? Hehehe. My fave character BEN!!!!!! I miss that little guy!! He's my total fave! The look of Quetoka reminded me of Ben. Are you still doing stuff with Ben??

No, I was going for that look. The reason his head looks so small is cuz he has so much fur on the back of his neck and shoulders. Believe it or not.. but some ppl and creatures have.. small head.. >>; But yeah.. I'm not changing his head. I likes it.. I worked long time on it.. << so yeah. Thanx though. ^^ Glad ye likes.

Wow..this pic is beautiful! The shading and different textures are absolutly amazing. I really like how you did the fur,and the trees in the background..they look water-colorish n_n. The build of him is really good too,and there is just enough fur to see it. Well done!
