Photoshop contest - albina kangaroo

..but you'll have to do! XD

I used my own photo I took of my sister (with her permission) for the reference. I loved her expression; I thought it would go well with the kangaroo ;)
I used free brushes and texture for the skin from
http://spiritsighs-stock.deviantart.com/

EDIT: I fixed the too bright albino kangaroo, the skin tone, a bit to the eyes (though that still needs work) and uploaded a full resolution image.
Thanks everyone for your creative comments! :)

Beautiful, it is interesting to see the changes in the step by step. Would love to see a high res image and an actual tutorial would be great.

Very nice, i love this kind of painting. Only thing that confuse me - eyes, wich supposed to look at cangaroo, but they are complitely closed.

Thanks so much for your comments! I was thinking about making a tutorial, but then I thought that maybe nobody would be interested anyway.. Now I have no excuses left

Good point about the eyes.. I wanted her to look like she was thinking, but it does look a bit odd. Thanks, I'll probably fix it sometime

Crazy good. Only thang Im not too sure about is how bright the kangaroo is. maybe its just me but it seems a little bright & out of place. nice job on making the hand look like its under the fur & how the kangaroo looks like its gripping her arm.

Like it but there's a small black line on his back and head try to erase it, I think it will benefit the image.

Uhm, if i get ya right - this lines is a contour, wich gives a flat touch to canga fake.

If you travel the outback why not use a pogostick?

kymbryonic [lvl 2] [vp 308] [ 13]:

You might want to consider using the wind filter to make kanga look like he's moving
