So I finally got around to figuring out how layers work in Photoshop (at least, to a very limited extent). It made coloring the thing a ton easier. A very wonderful feature.
Basically, the picture was a piece of concept "art" that I scanned in and used as a testbed. While it's nothing of even average quality, it did give me some practice with coloring and shading using layers and the multiply setting.
Uh...the tail was supposed to be a stylized version of Paulo's usual appendage, but it turned out...wrong. And those goggles/glasses have such a sickly lens color while the bottoms of his boots--actually, let's just say he's standing in the snow or something. Yeah.
