Here is another quick picture of Moon Monkey. I made to get some practice with making fur. I was able to do it a lot quicker than my first picture.
You can see his previous design in my 'Other Digital' folder in my gallery. [link]

I was really determined to change up the way how I render fur so I tried to do something different than what i have done in the past. Usually I just use a dotted brush and smudge the edges to make fur, but I did a little bit of searching here on and found various tutorials. I tried to mix a bit of all of the tutorials I've found to get this result.

I don't know what to make of it but i think it is definitely an improvement from what I've done in the past. Please leave feed back on what you think!!
