I don't remember exactly what I did to be honest. I am very new to photoshop and was experimenting with the hedgehog..lol..Anyway, I put down as much as I remember. High resolution's added. As far as I can see, I don't see much different...hahaha...Thank you all for leaving a comment.

very new? beginner luck? bloody hell! it's very impressive! good luck!
Nice work good luck!
If you are new to photo shop I find that very hard to believe from your lingo.. I don't like judging anyone but you come off as very professional.. it's okay to play the newbie, but when your work displays a higher ability and definate experience with the program you will fall suspect to deceiver.. good luck and the sbs is very well done
nice
GolemAura...lol..I will take that as a compliment I guess. I started learning doing things with photoshop back in april. I learn from books I borrowed from the library. The lingo stuff..I guess I picked up from the books.
