Finished Pug Portrait with Video

I'm finished my portrait of the beautiful Sandy. I filmed a video of the process and sped it up into a two-minute time lapse painting set to music. You'll recognize the music from the awesome ballet scene with the hippos and alligators in the original Fantasia movie from 1940. I loved it when I was a little kid and used to dance to it on my rebounder in front of the TV.

I've been working on making my videos faster and shorter, and I trimmed this one down to a lean 1:54 to fit the music. What do you think of the shorter lengths of my videos? If you've got an opinion, leave a comment at the bottom of the post. Here's the video:
Next, I painted in the basic colors and shapes of the background, and made some slight adjustments to her body.

Finally, I added the contours in her bed to make her look like she's sinking in a little bit. To make the contours I added alternating lines of light and dark blues and whites from my
sidemix. I wrote her name on her tag with my tiny detail brush. Here's the finished portrait:
