step 2 of 6

Using the original mushroom, create the toms, the cymbal and stand, and the high-hat. The bass was a new image. The cymbal was created by taking a round sample of the mushroom skin, inverting using the 3D extrude tool and tweaking several sliders and then adding the stem color on the bottom concave portion. Added appropriate shadows to each component. Added some more grass to cover gaps at the bottom.

Insert the Frog, and duplicate for the legs using the arms. Change the toes up to be different than the fingers. Left hand was folded for grasping the stick. Right leg formed to be grabbing the mushroom/tom tom. Moved right arm upward using the puppet warp tool.
