Description Yay!! So incredibly happy with this ^__^!! This took about ~5 hours.


This is Will feeding Tug an apple.

I always pictured Tug brown for some reason, I decided to double check here: [link] and he's gray?! o_O. I whipped out my Ruins of Gorlan book and I couldn't find it when they first introduced Tug, it just says "Shaggy".
u.u" Decided to go with the wiki on this one.

Download this in layers:
Since I am so proud of this, I decided to make this available to view in layers for anyone that is interested ^___^ (you may need to 'right-click save' in some browsers).
Photoshop file: [link]
Opencanvas File: [link]

This was done in opencanvas5.5, but you can save .psd's in OC.

I was quite the opposite; Tug was always grey for me, it was Abelard that was brown. Apparently not.

This is amazing. First time I have seen Tug colored correctly. Then again Mr. Flanagan never mentioned Tug's coloring a whole lot. This is great! So cute!

I just take a regular round and make it various sizes, however I am sure there are much better ways and even brushes to do it ^^. I just. Lazed out XD.

I just did the leaves and connected the branches, each on a different layer.
