Thanks for the comment!! Hehe, I did see the thylacine program on the telly...they were a bit stiff, being computer-animated and all, but I'm not complaining as long as I get to see 'em! :D T'was a cool program.
...Whoops, went off on a tangent there...I meant to say, yep, this is a Photoshop painting. Photoshop 6, to be specific, with just the hard round brush and the soft round brush in various sizes, and the tablet of course. The original resolution was 2800x2000 (or roundabouts), and it had about 10 layers by the time I was through (my poor computer!). Digital painting is fun. And non-messy. :D Anything else you want to know, just ask! :)
Woah, man... BEAUTIFUL. The painterly style, the background, the thylacine (I love those things. I almost got to see one on TV, but... mrr.)... lighting, colors... b'joo. :D Top score for you.
Question: Was this done in Photoshop? 'Cause I'm very interested in digital painting. Weeenk.
