I'm really loving this series so far. The texture is amazing but I love the little whimsical, swirly stray strands of fur here and there the most.

Thank you C: I haven't had the chance to do more to it, but I'm hoping to do one or two soon! I'm glad you like those whispy bits, they felt quite integral to the whole picture.

What absolutely gorgeous colours you've mixed together! <3
The reds and the golds, they look like fire! and the eyes look so cooling in contrast.

Wonderful grasp of facial anatomy too :3

It's just photoshop and several layers of different paper textures set to Overlay or Multiplay, then tweaked with a curves and a hue/saturation layer. Most of it was drawn with a hard round brush, with size, opacity and flow set to pen pressure, at 65% opacity and 60% flow as basic settings
