Wrapping it up

And here it is. I think it's the final version. There's not that much difference between this and the image in the last post. Often, it's just small, significant details that get that last push to 100% complete. To get to this point, I added more highlights to the water wings, the shorts, and the top of the head. This is to pop out a bit of contrast in those areas. I also wanted to give a rougher feel to the rock he's sitting on. This was done by painting more defined highlight and shadow areas. I also added a layer with Noise to give it a bit more. I hope it comes through. I think this image is finally done. I think I like it. I would call this one successful. In case you were wondering, there's no message or commentary; it's just a frog sitting by the water.
