Cock-adoodle-doo Mr. Rooster. The edges seem a bit rough but nice picture.

The picture for the most part is awsome but the beak has no depth to it.

COCK!

I think it is just lovely. I particularily am drawn to the red areas...love the depth of color and texture. When I look at this I deffinately see the real paint effect. I think though that when you have everything else texturized that the beak may need a little more attention. I don't see this so much as realism, as an expressive color explosion. Just great marcus.

---edit----
By the way I love the first version sketch...its got alot of personality.

This is certainly something different for you Marcus.. very cool!
