Excellent chop! Very well thought out and put together. I'd love to know how you re-did the 'evil face' (reminds me of the pointilism technique in painting), that's very cool, author. Reply »

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! Pearlie, for the evil face I used a bubble brush which was included with my Wacom tablet. I used different sizes with different opacities, making sure to use smaller bubbles for the smaller details. Also creating more layers of bubbles for areas which would have more highlight ( or more raised). After I get the base of the bubbles I add a new layer, set it to color dodge and fill it with black. With a white brush set to 5% opacity I paint in more highlights. For more details I added the evil face behind the bubbles and set the opacity to 10% Reply »

Wow, the blending is almost perfect! Is he a Satyr? Did he steal .. robots? The good thing about this work is it rises the question in viewer's mind about the story behind. I would use brush with a bit harder and brighter stroke to make the fur on his leg, it still looks quite blurry now. No more nitpick, and high mark from me ! Reply »
