Love the pose, Richard. The frac effect is perfect. A few things that might make it even better. First, I would probably crop from the left side to just inside the large bright area to the left of the squirrel because that seems to focus more attention on the squirrel IMO. I would also tone down the one bright leaf just below the squirrel and maybe lighten the eye a tad. Very nice work. :S3:

Richard, I really love the 3D effect here. The squirrels pose and look is adorable. The leaves add so much to this image! Christopher makes some good suggestions. I might blend the white fract line that follows the tail outline. The fract work is excellent and Dave would love this one!!:S3:

Love the use of fractalius here Richard. Agree with Christopher's suggestions. I like how you masked the face back in. Lovely work!

I like it a lot Richard and you did a nice re-creation of one of Dave's styles. Good suggestions above to make it even stronger.

Amazing ! Loved that glow in the leaves around the squirrel. Liked the fact that you retained the actual details in the head while 'filterizing' the rest.
