So I'm not a total failure as an artist, I guess.

Got some better pictures of the golden brown ki-rin. Now I'm trying to decide if I should sell him or keep him. Anybody interested in buying him if I did put him up for sale?

*smiles* Spiffy.

Any suggestions for improvement?

Hm. The only thing i noticed was that you did a really great job on balancing out highlight and shadow in the scales, but the mane and tail hair was kind of conspicuously devoid of highlight in contrast to the shadows. This may be an artifact of the photo--perhaps you did highlight it! however, all i've got to judge it is the photos. :/ Other than that, i'm seriously impressed.

Hrm. A good point. It has shadows, but no highlights. At this point possibly not fixable, but something to be kept in mind for the next one. Thanks!

Sure! :D I kind of looked at it in 2-d as i usually look at things i end up doing details on in photoshop. i said to myself "Dodge or burn?". >_>
