Colour rad Giraffe

I Had this image of a giraffe that I thought would be vastly improved with some colour, but I couldn't face getting out all of my paints and painting it, so I though'd I'd have a go at digitally rendering it. I ended up having reasonably successful results. 

I simply used two old textures that I had in my folder of scanned textures, and then I used the mask tool to fit the colour to the appropriate places and then edited the colour with the hue tool, playing around with the lightness and saturation tool to get the shade I wanted!

Here is an action shot of how I rendered it, wahey.
