This all-Photoshop concept shows the main character from an original an dindependent project with his pet/friend creature.

Back when I did this about a year ago my focus was on developing a painterly style. It shows good progress from the stuff I'd been doing before, but looking at it now it's not nearly where I'd like to be. Comments and suggestions on developing a more panterly approach would be much appreciated.

These days my focus has broadened to also include been on page design and tonal composition. I think this image has a certain strength in those areas, though I'm sure it can be improved. Again, crits and suggestions are weelcome.
