# I was trying to make a fur edge on her left arm but the fur was too light for it to show up on her
right arm and the tail kind of absorbs it in the transparancy

# Oh, I see what you're doing
would it be easier to keep the transparency at 100% then use the burn/dodge tools to create the lighting effect?

# the whole shape of the fur
Illusion would then be lost unfortunately I have layers for shadow, layers of overlapping fur sometimes i have layers for no reason other than incase i need to do something different.
its basically a sort of fur overcoat on a high contrast skin layer
without the trasnparancy its more difficult however
i could say use the burn transparency setting.
i used darken transparency on the fith element skwirrel to good effect i havent found an image since i can repeat that on.

I had a plan to make a little tutorial just about how i do them more so people could put me right than anything else

# by all means
my rather basic guide to my method is

make a layer for the skin and copy it out
for that layer take the saturation right down then increase the contrast

next take that layer and make a same shape area of fur

paste that fur layer on top of the skin layer and make it slightly transparent i find about 60%-70% is pretty good.

the end effect is having the shape of the person (light and shade of the body) kind of transposed into the fur.

# Cool, though
