a lot of @Deevad brushes were used, as usual

Superbe range of values, work on the drapery and glossiness of the eye orb. Also, funny picture for the theme. You master that brushkit better than I do

i don’t know what to say, thank you ! @Deevad
Je passe un instant en français pour bien m’exprimer (sorry folks, i switch to french an moment), mais ce commentaire de ta part me fait vraiment très plaisir, je suis simple artiste amateur qui essaye de progresser ces 4 dernières années alors ça fait chaud au coeur venant de quelqu’un du métier et d’autant plus de toi qui a crée le pack de brush. Merci encore. 
also thank you @kacart , @Erisian and @MangooSalade for your kind comments
