Help on a picture...

I need to come up with stuff to catch people's attention...oh well...hopefully someone reads it. ^^;

But that title's true. Need help on this picture to be exact: [link]

I've been trying today to come up with a way to paint fur more realistically. The idea for coming up with a series of pokemon drawings that look like nature/wildlife photos, but I can't do that unless I can figure a way to make my stuff more realistic. :iconnovawuff: has an amazing tutorial, but I can't quite translate it to what I'm doing. When she does photo realistic stuff, the animals have realistic colors for that animal. Brown is a realistic color for some animals, but it isn't too common with foxes to my knowledge. I've only seen red, silver, black, and white foxes. And especially with a baby fox. Plus, I haven't found too many good photos that have good detail on the flow and texture of a baby fox's fur.

Also...I don't know what else to put in the background. ^^;

I will be sad if no one says anything... :( <--(my sad face)

Sorry, I don't have much in the way of tutorials to help (other than what you can just find by typing in "fur tutorial," of course).

But hopefully these will be something that you can enjoy:

Fox colours you never knew existed: [link]

Some fox pups (some compared with adults): [link]

Was wondering 'bout that. X3

Fine, I shall pretend it's this post!

Yeah, she does have some wicked awesome stuff! I'd forgotten about her page. She doesn't have a tutorial...I don't think so at least. But she works with fur on a pretty small scale since she does transformation photomanips.

Oh yeah...how was Ohayocon?

Well don't know about realistic fur, but for backgrounds at least there are some useful videos for making some good (Not to mention easy,) ways of making relistic looking backgrounds on Photo Shop: [link]

I have officially played every .hack game and beat every one that has come to the U.S.! :D Believe it!

Looked at parts of some videos. They're okay. But tricks don't work all of the time. Too many of them and things start looking fake. Plus other than the fallen trunk she's got her paw on, I don't really know what else to put in the background...^^;

I'm pretty good on the fur for now. Workin' with two tutorials, one from the person I mentioned above and the other from :iconyellow-eyes:
