I love the serious look he's sporting, like "don't mess with me Steeley McBeam or I'll smack the beard right offa your chin", and yet still has his tongue slightly poking out of his mouth. xD
I've been working with a fantastic artist mentor who has helped me think deeper about how my art looks. He also showed me some mad spif tricks too. I got the shades and lights, the fur textures, and I got really crazy eye effects.
