(And for the record, Yes, I do that whenever I screw with other people's art to be 100.1% above board)

So, yeah - after 3 hrs, here's where I finished... still not happy that I didn;t get to the jaw and such, but considering I screwed with new ideas I'm not at all upset.

Had to clean up the lines - combo of Brightness / Contrast and painting out the lines that didn;t just dissapear....

Then I softened the top line-art layer with a blur... then did more with heavy smudging.. trying to make it more of a paint feel. Not sure that worked. i didn;t get all the lines at all, but it was a start.

Colourwise, believe it or not, I liked this pic most of all.. so I kinda cheated by grabbing some of the fur, stamped it in then blurred / pulled / dodged and burned it all to hell to get SOMETHING approximating what I was wanting. STILL didn;t get it quite right, but I REALLY liked some of the feathering I was able to accomplish

So, there we go.. that's what 'speed painting' for a hack like me looks like.

So.. Juno? What say you?
