The Little Drifter

Alright I've been hanging round outside the pet store again! Well can you blame me when this little girl is there! She is just the cheekiest little thing! (I cannot get another dog, I cannot get another dog, I cannot get another dog...)

Unfortunately shooting through glass in low light left a lot of grain and the shredded paper she was sitting on made it necessary to repaint her chest.

I didn't really want the boat to be too realistic in this one so it's completely repainted from reference. I wanted the scale of the boat to emphasise the "toy" nature of the dog (she's a chihuahua x mini foxie).

Not sure about the title - suggestions welcome.

Toy boat reference stock from [link] , water foreground from [link] (see also [link] ), water background from istock [link] , water brush from [link] and wood grain brushes from [link] . Dog, sky and all other textures from personal resources.
