Inspiration Avenue Challenge: Furry

Bless Priti (pretty) Lisa's heart. She chose "furry" as the Inspiration Avenue challenge this week. It was as easy as pie after I stylized Bleubeard in Photoshop. I thought his fur really showed in this view, so I had a bit of fun turning him into the star he should be. I would have made the price free, but Bleubeard has needs and wants!

Thanks Lisa for letting me perform just a tiny bit of digital magic this week, something I usually don't have time to do.

24 thoughtful remarks:

I am not technology friendly.

Bluebeard looks snazzy there.
Can't go wrong with that guy.
