This is my first background that I made with renders, I've made some personal ones but those consisted mostly of drawings!
If you're referring to my style of drawing, then no, I myself do not draw anime. I draw mostly fursonas for my brother and my best friend.
I would prefer using Skype, because the PM system is not really my cup of tea...
I still don't quite get what you're meaning by the last sentence, "If you took it, this piece would look much better in my opinion".
What are you referring to? I think that the shadow I created under Chopper is making it seem like I just pasted it on there, but I intended using the Chopper render from the start.
