step 1 of 9

I started by reshaping the tiger's head using warp and liquify. I brightened the eyes and used the clone tool to do some additional shaping. The clone stutter came in handy this time, adding to the texture of the "fur".

step 2 of 9

More work with liquify and the clone tool for the front paws.

step 3 of 9

Same as before, this time for the back, belly and rear paw.

step 4 of 9

I borrowed a piece from the back for the tail.

step 5 of 9

What's a tiger without his stripes? I used burn to make the stripes, but changed it later.

step 6 of 9

General placement of the objects. I used distort on the carpet and painted in the wall. I changed that later, too. I couldn't find any ear buds that I liked, so I painted them in, using the pen tool and inner shadow and inner glow.

step 7 of 9

I wasn't happy with the burned stripes, so I borrowed a couple of stripes from the tiger and, using warp, clone and smudge, put better stripes on him.

step 8 of 9

I didn't think the disc I found looked right, so after using distort to change the shape, I made a copy of part of it, reduced the opacity and placed the copies. After I merged everything, I made another copy and greatly increased the brightness, placed it under the original and gave the disc an edge.

step 9 of 9

I thought this might be a girl's room, so I gave it a pink wall, using paint, the craquelure filter and blur. I created shadows by using paint and brightness/contrast filter layers. A little more shadow work and a few tweeks and I am finished.
