That one is not, but he *is* the wolf Faron was based off of. He's, uh, a creature in a game I play. xD I tamed said creature at some point and the character of Faron came from that.

Ok I've been looking at your Petopia doodles and I love how they're not just one color but different hues as well. Does that make sense? Is there any specific way you do that? XD

That's something I've been having a lot of fun with. It's very simple! The initial coloring is done in rather plain colors- if it's a lion, then just lighter and darker tawny colors, flat and simple. Once all the shading is done I get a large, soft brush at low opacity, and switch the mode to "Overlay". Then I choose whatever bright color I want to use (usually bright blues, yellows, reds, and often dark purple for darker areas) and just kind of… Go at it. xD I add little touches of color to different spots, some times putting the brightest, lightest colors on the lightest shaded areas, and the darker colors in the darker shaded areas.

Does that make any sense? xD

My best guess would be that you choose a color and it puts an overlay of aa color on the rest of the drawing.

Yeah that makes sense. XD I guess it'll take practice to figure out which colors go where though, so it doesn't look like a mess.
