Shortly after the upload of my Battlepip picture on DevArt, BrentOGara asked if he could make a try at adding what could be the missing piece: better shading. 

And hot damn was it a magic touch! Check out the full resolution at the DevArt page here! :D

He was also super cool and also sent me his PSD files for it as well, which I’m going to take a look at as soon as I get my Photoshop installed! :P Hopefully I can learn a thing or two from it for future art.
