rearanged the shroom to get a dragon.....this was my first idea
step 2 of 8
This is what i came up with after doing some saturation changes using the layer mask techniques
step 3 of 8
I wasnt happy after looking more closely at what i had done so I went back a step and tore the head off and rearranged the body
step 4 of 8
I made a new head from the shroom parts and drew in the eyes
step 5 of 8
I needed rocks so I used this shot of mine from Castle Craggs park in Nor. Cal.
I used live trace on the photo to simplify the rocks and remove the sky
step 6 of 8
I wanted some sky so I used another sunrise photo of mine.
here it is in all its uncut glory
step 7 of 8
Combining the rocks with the sunset I then placed the dragon onto the new background
step 8 of 8
Using hue and saturation chages to get the image dark enough to my liking I then used a lens flare in the sky and painted in the starts , teeth and finished the eyes.
hope you like it, this took me forever
