Animals, Initals, Masking, and Texture

This is my cat I made with my initials.    I turned the R for my middle name Ryan around to create the face and front legs.  I then took the J from my first name Jonathan and rotated it onto its side to create the cat's body and tail.  Then I took the C from my last name Copeland and turned it sideways to create the cat's back legs.  I then masked the texture of cat fur over everything. I then experimented with the brush tool to create whiskers.
