Thanks Val
yesterday was the deadline so no brightening's gonna happen, but I see your point. And here I keep trying to not make everything in a set the exact same colour (something that's otherwise very popular on Aywas
)
Purple and gradients are also very popular

No word on the possble USD submissions, but meanwhile they have a breeding event going on and I had some edited "zephyrs" that were over edited for the usual custom pet making items but that could be done during this event where rules are bit lax - assuming I had the right parents, so I had to edit an "arion" and a "drylis" as well...
Top row is the unedited site pets, bottom row my customs and their offspring, assuming they all get accepted. Currently waiting for the custom parents to go through so I can submit the "breeding" and get the other two.

I like the warmth in some of those faces. It makes them look more alive and gives them a bit more depth and potential, as if they're going to scamper off before you can catch them. 
And I'm always impressed when animal stripes accurately follow the forms of the body, unlike when I do them.

Ellipse guide/stencil.
I keep tellin' ya!
Or you could set the palette knife to smudge and push/pull them into the shape you want. It'd probably blur the edges a bit, but animal fur does look a little fuzzy anyway.

Yeah when I want a more furry look I do "paint them" by hand with a suitable brush, but for just quick clean dots I use the ink pen. Of course I could transform them into flatter shapes. But it's too much work
I guess drawing short lines with tapering and smoothing off might work too... with tapering you get very pointed ends on your ellipse

I can never, ever use any brush that tapers. I just cannot control them at all. I don't know if it's me, or the pen, or both (it's probably just me ) but they don't work well for me.
And that ArtRage ink pen will never smooth and taper exactly where I want it to.

But despite saying that, I have now remembered that the watercolour tool does indeed taper but the thing I like about that is that its oversensitive, slightly unpredictable nature is very much like real watercolour and it makes some nice happy accidents. It's just not the kind of thing you really want from other tools/brushes when doing details.

Well, those pets above that I had made for a "breeding" were processed today. Exactly ONE day late to be used as I had intended. Not only that but I had uploaded them with a "custom maker" that allowed 75% edits, saying that even if they were below 50% edited (next level custom maker) I wanted the higher level one used rather than the pet being rejected. But of course it's rejected for being less edited.
