Check me out Sal-CCN Tribute

This is a tribute to an incredibly skilled cartoonist here on DeviantArt, some of you already know and love him.
ChadtheCartoonNut

Was just admiring some of his handiwork the other day and got the idea in my head I had to do somethin'. So I downloaded a good load of his gallery to my HD, and proceeded to browse through and study the crap outta it.
In the end, I came up with this scene. The object of the image, was to look as much as I can like how he draws, without outright copying him.

I love the original sketch I did, please take a glance at that

But it was the rendering that I spent the most painstaking time on. Tried a few new things in an atempt to emulate what he did on his pics.

So, if you think this looks good, go wigg out on Chad's gallery and join his flock of watchers, the real deal looks 10x better

NOTE: This is a fixed version of the originally completed piece. I realized I missed a minor coloring detail that Chad had, that being the coloring of Sally's eyelids. The original had light-colored fur, but I changed it to the dark here.
