I always start with what I like to call a "sh**ty first draft" to get a sense where I wanna go with my image.
step 2 of 8
Scaled down & mirrored the images of the cow & model; lined them to where I wanted them.
step 3 of 8
Retouched Ms. Cows horns, teeth,etc! (in previous step even made her grin! lol)
As for the models hair...oh hair! Like lighting, i dread you so much. Why must you be such a pain!?
Edited the flyaways to be less distracting & got smooth cutouts of the model/ cow via channels extraction technique.
step 4 of 8
This is where the real fun began! -__-
I added fur in place of the models body, and fixed the hair/ added bangs (just used the bottom of the hair shape) as well as gloves. (from Mannequin) I then went in and retouched the hooves and added them in last.
step 5 of 8
Created a "meat shawl" using just other parts of the model.
Added meat texure with hidden layers.
I then accessorized it with the other hand model's fingers (morbid I know, lol) and pearls from the Mannequin.
step 6 of 8
Placed meat shawl on cow model + added a few shadows.
The bone behind the face is made from scratch using a off white layer with a little bit of texturing from the ps deafult textures.
step 7 of 8
Added more shadows for contrast to the "meat shawl" as well as used my own image of my bella cousin for the cows eyes. Also "perfected" the shadows on the hair/ cow, etc.
