Fur direction needs to conform to body shapes...

Please check out the guides for other entries in this contest for ideas on how to clean this up a bit. I will hold my vote to see if you do. Good luck.

Oh! It's fur! I thought this was a wood texture or something. It's definately missing that fur look, i reccomend using the grass brush and maybe brushing around the edges to make it seem like actual fur. Good luck!

you can also add some shadows and highlights

The facial hairs need a little tweaking as do the legs and the shoes I don't like but overall it's neat picture.

You should work better onh er face, the eyes and mouth ar all covered with hairs.

big foots wife?

You've got the right Idea but you need to follow the natural shading of the body so the tiger print doesn't look so flat.. I'm sure other's will be along to help... good luck

Instead of using the whole piece of print and slapping it onto the woman's body and erasing around her, I suggest cutting out pieces of the tiger print that fit the different sections of the woman's body. What you have done here is make all of the tigers lines line up no matter what part of the body is showing. For example: the legs are sharing stripes at the knees as if the stripes were a dress. Even if you can't get the stripes to go in the right direction, you'll do better if the body didn't look flat.

Part 2. What you did with her arm isn't going to work, either. Try what I said before by cutting out parts of the print to make it fit the arm. There are much better ways to do this, but as a beginner, you might want to try this.

looks bad; please take into consideration the suggestions you received; you can also look at the comments of the entry before yours; that one has the same issues

thank you to all the people that left constructive criticism instead of insulting words. I will definately try your suggestions out and experiment, now that i have a starting point.

The idea is quite good. The best way to do this would be to use a displacement map after overlaying the texture at a 45 degree angle. Try following Eladine's displacement map tutorial, that should help.

good try! It is great that everyone tried to help too. I'm new and learning a bunch from others because we all start somewhere
