That’s beautifully done, Val. I also like how you’ve positioned him, close up and parts leading off the edge of the surface.

Nicely done Val.

Stunning work, Val. Such an expressive gaze and wonderful textures and depth. You can almost feel all those wonderful layers of thick fur. Beautifully done!
