Here’s a new piece that’s gone through several stages.
I’m not really sure what kind of creature it is, but I think it’s kinda cute.

I’ve read up on “Hi-Fi Color for Comics” and tried to emulate some of the rendering techniques explained there, but it ended up with too hard lines for my taste. Thus I began to experiment a bit, and this is the final result. I may have overdone it a bit, particularly on the belly of the beast, but that’s just another lesson well learned.

The background is textured using a brush I created from scratch myself. I’m actually very pleased with it.
