Cut out bull from bull sculpture source 1.
Make a new layer and trace around areas where the parts will eventually be placed.
Make another new layer. Select bull and flood fill selection with dark brown.
Move the dark brown layer under the light outline.
This makes a base guide for part placements. The guide layers are deleted when all the parts have been placed.

step 4 of 8

I marked the pieces which I used from the source for the hooves, the mouth, the ears, the eyelids, and legs. The pieces were cut out and some were flipped and merged and warped to create the various parts. I had to clone some of the original studs over the ones which were warped too much.

step 5 of 8

Steam engine source 8 used to make body parts as marked. The pieces were transformed and warped to fit the various areas. The ones on the lower body were duplicated and overlayed on multiply mode to darken those areas.
