On the dress I was thinking a very obnoxious looking floral print from Hawaii (I think it’s called a mu mu) or a design that looks like it’s made from bed sheets or curtains.
You know … shopping for clothes is tough at this size. There’s Tents 'R Us or the Home Squatter’s Network. :shrug:
Bigger eyes for the chihuahua …
I’ve been baby sitting my brothers rug rat … and I realized that small dogs with big eyes have very little whites showing. So, I changed the dog’s peepers. I think he looks like he’s straining more.
Maybe this will make him a bit more cute … baby blue sailor suit!?
I tried a displacement map on the dress, but it didn’t look right. So, now I gotta’ do it the hard way. 
This just gets better and better. I’m all for cartoony realism. Love it.
I think the big eyes work great too, gives you that feeling I always get looking at chihuahuas, that their eyes could just shoot right outta their head any second.
How do you do displacement maps in PS (or is it in the Manual?) My favorite parts are the blown tire, her eye shadow and those veins. Funny stuff. Roll on. What’s the dog’s name?
:applause: :applause:
There was a thread in the 2D forum not long ago where someone used the displacement map to create wrinkles on a pair of pants. I forget the thread, who started it, and where the tutorial it pointed to is at. But I did find this tutorial which seems to explain the process pretty well.
I’m at work now so I don’t have the page I looked at here.
The dog is a purebreed and as most purebreed’s names go … it has a history. See if you know who this dog has been named after. If you find it, you’ll know the dog’s short name. hehhehehe
This chihuahua’s registered name is: Elzie Segar
Thanks for the tute, I’m going to have to read that a few times before it will begin to soak in. This an example of why I’m not even going to mess with 3d stuff until they make it easier to paint the models. My little brain can only digest some many new items at a time. Who knows what will be happening in 5 yrs with the 3d texturing methods?

I guess that this thread you said was mine. Did I guess wrong?
But the tutorial on this page you suplied is great.
Not really artistic, but it seems to explain everything clearly.
Great work you have here.
Great idea also.
Try to not compress the jpg this ammount
it’s too pixelated
regards
Yep, that’s the one. Thanks Bruzundanga … and I’m really sorry my memory failed me on that one. That was a good thread.
I know about the pixelation problem also. I’m not too worried about getting a high-res until I’m close to finished. Since these are WIP, I’m not worried about posting up the clearest image … just something that gives you an idea of what the whole picture is looking like.
Oh … and thanks to whoever put that thumbnail on the main index. I feel as though I’m getting my 15 mins of fame now. heheheh.
:bounce:
Looks done to me … or at least I think it is. Any last minute critiques?
I’m having problems with my ISP, so I can’t post up a high resolution image yet. A couple angry phone calls should fix that and I’ll add a link to this thread tomorrow.
Oh … one small detail that’s probably lost in the image. Here’s a close up of her charm bracelet. Her 3 food groups are represented here.
