I've been working on this Photoshop technique for a few days now and finally got it to work out well enough to post here on Steemit. I like the way it looks when portraying animals, as the big cats and bears look pretty good too. Captain was such a good boy to sit still for the pictures I took of him with my iPhone 6s. The original has been posted below.
What I'm planning to do is create more sketch renderings of Captain, as well as using some good stock photos I found on Envato, to create a clan of Shiba Inu that have protected important infants troughout time. Shiba Inu lore tells a wonderful story about how the Inu breed was engaged in protecting Japanese babies and families, mostly from snake attack.
I have a great idea for a main character based on Captain, with a master Akida Inu that trains him to watch over a fictional Japanese Prince. The story will be written in short story style and will be the third I want to work on here at Steemit. The other two would be fantasy story The Start of Something Small and the historical fiction series about The Sail Sisters. I hope it's not too much, and i can do a good enough job of creating the stories for Steemit.
