Then a bear happened.

It's been a while since I posted anything --- I promise I have stuff to post, I'm just lazy about getting it up here. >.<

This guy came out of some doodle practices, working in the grad lab at practice.  I forgot my USB at home today so I decided to do some Preston Blair studies from his book.  Then I started working the shape concepts into some new design ideas for my main character for my thesis.

Then a bear happened.

So I decided to try and paint him in Photoshop because I never really paint.  Tossed in some rim lighting, and critiques/links to tutorials are very much welcome!
