Thank you. I had actually started that almost 13 years ago as a traditional piece.  And then that contest came up. So had the incentive to finally go back to it.

Thanks. I actually did traditional sketches for this over a decade ago when I was still using my old gallery. It had nagged me  all these years that I hadn't finished it.  It was never intended as an anthro piece and I may redo it as I had originally envisioned way back when.  That contest just gave me the incentive to finish it.  It also didn't hurt that a vendor over at Daz started to make some really excellent musical instruments and poses.  I had a chat with the vendor about doing a set of bagpipes.  He said it might give it a try after he finishes up with his saxophone project.  -chuckles-  Then I could really cut loose with some renders . 

And thanks for the fav.  I am very fond of this because I do very few composition pieces.  One for the lack of time and two  I am too damn picky about my results lol.

Thanks.  I really wanted to do even more with it.  Honestly wish someone would do a set of bagpipes lol.  I might put one more together for the contest not sure yet.  Trying to see if I have the energy.

Thanks  just going to depend on their bias about 3d vs traditional I am thinking.

We shall see lol. I did it for fun and to get back into practice of doing skins.  Had actually been working on displacement maps to give those a more fur look with out looking like noise maps.  Chestfur was almost ready but got caught by the deadline and overwork lol.  Was trying to keep it subtle. Also would look manga / anime without kicking up the render times.  Ears are still my annoyance lol.  Versatail was so well done and renders so well in Iray and 3DL I don't feel the need to make one of those.  Pity it is no longer available for others to use.  I wonder how you make a skullcap to use as a base for ears?

I was happy with it.  render time was terrifying lol.  Could have gone with straight white but I prefer to have some differentiation in the texture.  Never under understood why MAB used cream for white  on her white fox for genesis.   Would have loved to have done one for Slow Marching Band song lyrics but needed bagpipes for that lol.

My best renders have taken hours and even days in some cases... like my image of the USS Constellation in Vietnam... good results take time, something the load and click crowd will never understand....

Mine would too, but I changed the settings in the windows power options to prevent that when I have large renders in the works...

I changed that a long time ago but will still do it. My usual average is about 2 hours but that really stretched out.
