Love the texture you created with the "brush" strokes and your portrayal of light was spot on! And I Do like Chipmunks a lot... 
 
Which tablet do you have? Did you work on top of a photo or do it all from tabla rasa?

 I use a wacom 6x8 tablet. I do it all from scratch, no tracing, looking at different pictures for reference. I start with my broad strokes getting the general feel for lighting, motion, etc. then work my way down to smaller more specialized custom brushes.
I have been painting with oils for 8 years now so when I started with a tablet and Painter I just took my painting procedure with me and it seems to work fine for me.
