Bill Funk
you definitely should post it. Layer blending gives some awesome results and it's cool to experiment with different textures. Organic material? Cool. -

Bill Funk
Cheers Mike. Would love to see your take on the water droplets. I'll put you on my watchlist and keep an eye out! -
Michael Moody

Thanks Paola-hey, 40 layers is nothing to sneeze at! What I also do is combine several layers with distinct parts that don't overlap. This way I can still work on individual objects without messing up anythiong else, and the number of layers isn' -
Paola Jofre
Wow Bill!! Alot of hard work and well worth it. You have much more patience than I do. I think the most layers I have reached is a bit over 40 and that drove me mad lol:) Awesome job!! Love all the expression in the faces. -

Wow that must have taken ages looks stunning well done. P.S Thanks for the comment on my picture. -
Bill Funk
