Excellent texture, the nostril to me looks like it could use some highlights around it to create a more 3D shape. Everything else is excellent. Good luck!

Amazing creature. Love the colors and the eye looks great

Wonderful!!

Very nice idea...

Cool...a dog that can walk on water...

The original photo is sunny so in order to make the fog natural you should also try to desaturate the water plants. Also add some blur on the dog, he's in the background and in the fog so he shouldn't look so sharp.

nice

Well Done!

a: i think its off theme cus this is not really the same as taking a person or animal and replace the skin and b: you let a program put the skin on you didnt do it yourself.. and c: o.o it doesnt look like fur.. have a look at my puss in boots tutorial:http://www.pxleyes.com/tutorial/photoshop/1253/How-To-Make-Puss-in-Boots.html there you can find out how to redraw fur on edges but again i dont think it looks like fur at all anymore to be very honest o.o; the texture looks smudged and blurry, i have not enough knowledge of the 3d programs now adays anymore to know if that can be done different and better so i cnat give you better advice there..

Eladine, you forgot to mention the good old time when you was moderator.

and thats relevant because??

"you let a program put the skin on you didnt do it yourself." You ever read what you write ? What is Photoshop ? A dog, a cat ? LOL, Eladine, you make me a happy evening.

Take any animal or person and give them skin from another animal. Is this an animal or person? Anyway, it'd look better with eyes and more realistic fur on the ears...

such an interestingly shape face.. very different (and very cool)

Yes, is a person create by me. The theme is not "take the picture of a person or an animal".

Author is right. The directions do not say that he cannot make the person himself. And I know someone that kinda looks like him. I mean, without the fur. Points for the hard work you put into it, but yeah, the fur isn't as furry as I'd like.
