step 1 of 8
These are the parts I used and their purpose
step 2 of 8
Primarily, I used warp and smudge and liquified the tail
step 3 of 8
I masked the hair off of the legs, then layered and merged to create a stick. Wave filter to shape and free transform to make it bigger
step 4 of 8
First, strong smudge to pull out the spikes. Then a light opacity paint over it. Dodge and burn for shading
step 5 of 8
Layers and gaussian blur
step 6 of 8
Brightness/contrast and layers
step 7 of 8
Burn and increased contrast for shading
step 8 of 8
Light opacity black over everything, then soft brush eraser. Other shadows created with soft brush and gaussian blur.
Bonus! For those who have looked at this SBS, a puzzle. I've also created bugs. There are 9 bugs scattered around the image. Some are in plain view, but most are trying to hide. Can you find them? ;-)
