Remember how I started out saying that I usually stay away from effects and filters? This time we’re doing nothing but messing around with effects and filter. Ha!

There are a few things I want to fix up. There’s still some things that are bothering me about the bushes in the foreground and the sock needs some more sock details so that it doesn’t look like an oversized tongue, but for all intents and purposes, I’m done!
