Thank you. I'm glad you all like it. : )

I made a bump image for my trade thread with this artwork if you anyone would like to use it. I'll also add it to the first post.

I just took the soft paint brush tool, added a slight scatter, lowered the opacity, and dotted it a little bit sporadically into a rough cloud shape. I used a lighter color than the background, and in some places a much darker color for the base of the clouds. I toggled the paint brush size a few times to give it more variation, then added my highlights and shadows and some extra colors to give it pizzazz. :3

The painting is a little different in Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai, but I eventually figured this thing out. xD I had to do it all with my laptop's touch pad, because I can't find my tablet anywhere. >_>;
