From the Artist: This piece was composed entirely through Paint Shop Pro 7 using a Wacom tablet for the fine details. The images depict my ferret, Tiki. I have a passion for ferrets and find they make the most entertaining subjects. I used a lot of airbrush and paintbrush techniques to achieve the effects you see.
The idea for Christmas Ferret came from a little experimenting with the camera and some Christmas decorations. Due to a ferret's curious and playful nature, drawing from life is practically impossible, therefore dozens of photos later and a confused ferret, I found a pose I felt would be perfect!
From the Painting Guide: To me something like this makes a truly personal Christmas image -- it's got something in it that fits the season and something that's specific to the maker.
