Wow, that looks really, really nice! What'd you use to get that look? :0
Wow, thank you!
I use the PaintTool SAI program.
The orange-y background is given by an (COUGHS it was a lumi and shade layer oops) and I used the airbrush with the paper textures to do it.
The bright stuff is given by luminosity of course. Shoulda made the eyes brighter, but I copied the layer with eyes, blurred one, and then added the glow.
The smoke is used with the pen tool. Blurring on one side helps the effect, as well as a dull amount of airbrush behind it.
You can get a realistic fur expectation by using small, quick strokes with the pen, airbrush, or brush tool. (the lighting on the shoulders is a custom brush of mine)
