ahhh coool so that's how you did the glow!
I thought I may have been just using the blending options, but this makes far more sense since it leaves that nice darker patches around the edges of the markings; it gives the illusion that glow emitted is actually coming from the center, rather then having a nasty consistent light just coming from the outer rim. That's awesome, I've learnt a new trick!

What's your canvas size set to? Looking at this I'd say you're either pretty much working it at the same size you submitted the final product as, or you have an absolutely enormous screen :D. Is that deliberate to achieve a certain look or to cut time or something?
I'm impressed that your stuff still comes out looking as clean and detailed as it does (Espeons forehead jewel especially, that just looks amazing). Personally I need to have an absolutely enormous canvas size just to begin to work details.
Nice work :dance:

The strokes were by far the most important part of this tutorial. ^^

I always wondered how you got the glow effect on there. It works even in Photoshop. This helped me alot. :D
