Then I added the cubes together in layers a total of 7 layers in a pyramid shape
step 3 of 8
next I used the source image again only this time I used the Elliptical Marquee tool to chop out the safety disks
step 4 of 8
next I added some shading with the burn tool to both the pyramid and the safety disks
step 5 of 8
Next I used another round portion of the same as the disk for the beginning of the body of the qbert
step 6 of 8
Then I went to liquefy to make the shape of q-Bert
step 7 of 8
I then used a cube like I did with the pyramid boxes only this time I brought it into liquefy and used various methods eg. pinch,bloat,forward warp tools, and a bit of twirl tools to make the snake
step 8 of 8
After I got a shape of the snake I then again used the burn tools for both qbert and the snake - then just added some eyes to both on different layers and once complete merged all layers together and touched up a tad more with burn and lighten - along with a bit of blur and smudge to get rid of some rough edges - and very last added text as in the Q-Bert game - from back in the Day ;0) enjoy
