I'm trying something a bit different with this piece. Usually when I do paintings, the rendering is super smooth, and you can barely see any brushstrokes, but that wasn't the original purpose. What I originally wanted was that you could see the brushstrokes I wanted lots of texture, and because I rendered so much, I did have a lot of texture over all; skin, whool, fur, hair, wood, they all had the exact same texture, and that bothered me (plus the super smooth rendering take me INCREDIBLY LONG)

With this here piece I tried to loosen up the brushstrokes and get more texture, and I certainly had a bit more fun with it than I would've if I had chosen to do the smooth rendering, and even if this had a monochromatic pallet, I didn't feel bored quite as much.

But, I still am unsure if I should stick to this looser style or keep up with the super nice rendering.
