This is more about heartblood than sophisticated painting technics, but I saw the pet thread here on CGTalk and know that many of you share lonely computer hours with a fury companion and will understand...
My little friend Marvin was seriously ill in the last months and I worked on this portrait when ever I felt helpless and can't do anything else for him - he always watched from his chair next to mine. I'm glad that I finished it for him in time and captured a typical pose - I had to let him go yesterday and just hope he knew how much he brightened my life and how much I'll miss him.
