THU challenge 2016.. had to join =)

Could not say now.

For my first idea. I have a small humanoid critter teaching little ones about Art and its history throughout the THU world. As the challenge is all about being reborn and diving into the spirit of the Arts I can think of no better way to start then by teaching the younger generation all the knowledge and experiences of THU master artists. Think "puss in boots" outfit and a cartoon style.

I had time today to UV all his parts and get the pose underway. I still have to add back in a lot of the folds and play with his weight a bit more.

Not much more my skill level in Photoshop can do, so I think we are pretty much done. I will post up the final image a little closer to the end. I had a lot of fun with this piece and the illustration came out pretty close to my original sketch.
