My "Lead Carousel Fox" picture, for me, was a very big project, and with any big project I always save the intermediate steps in case I need to go back and start something over. I thought it might be fun to show the different digital stages of my Lead Carousel Fox picture. Maybe it'll help out some other artist.

This was the first time I actually made a separate shadow layer (and the first time I actually used layers). Usually I color digitally and then apply shadows and highlights directly on top of that (like I did with the fur texturing). Thought I'd try something different this time and see what the big hub-bub with layers was all about. Meh.
