I did a re-paint [or 'paintie' which is weird to say & I don't like it] of Etal, my herbalist/explorer on Furvilla. He keeps his corals & seaweeds in a small tank-garden for convenience.

Just submitted this one. I'll be happy when it shows up on his page: http://www.furvilla.com/villager/82670

I've never used a grayscale base before but it's pretty cool. It helps figure out values & contrast before coloring, which is something I've always had trouble with. I might use a similar technique in the future with my own stuff.
