@Shinkasuru: The dishwasher, microwave, and sink have all arrived. (We ordered the big stuff so that we could get the points back on our credit card. Hooray for money back!) We also got all the hardware and faucet. Renovations are slated to start next week. Luckily, I have faith in the contractor team we hired -- they gutted and redid our bathroom two years ago and it came out great. Still, I do feel a bit bad for the kitty getting cooped up during the day, but some things just can't be helped.
I'm only through the second class of Woo's, so I'm not sure if he keeps up with the lines or not. I tend to lean more towards lines myself just because that's how I've always done it. (Whether successfully or unsuccessfully is very debatable. lol) We'll have to wait and see what happens as I work through the classes!

Worked a bit more on the Star Wars commission today. I think I'm going to leave the center figure for a bit and move on to one of the other figures and start work. (Don't want to spend all my time rendering just one place, after all.) Let me know if anything on the center guy is still looking wonky thus far (like that iffy back arm I'm not happy with) -- revised some stuff, added some wind to his clothes for movement (need to add some to his hair to match), adjusted the legs a bit, toned down the skin value differences some. Still a W.I.P (obviously) but maybe 65% done-ish with him? I feel like I'm starting to verge on over-rendering my brushwork.
Not sure why it's sharpening the image so much when I shrink it down to export it for upload. (Original file is approx 6,000px wide. Is it the way Photoshop is compressing it down to .jpg? Ideas?) Weirdness.
I think I may leave this for the night and do something like a still life on my iPad to relax. Haven't done one in a while and I enjoy those. <3
