I changed the original tattoo source to sepia, deleted the side hand, filtered it in filter forge with HDRtist to get the artistic frame and make all the body hair less prominent.
I had to cut bits like tusks off the elephant to warp and transform them to fit the tattoo. I matched the eyes and ears to the original tattoo as close as I could. The original tat can be seen on the legs and lower ears of the animal. (5 years and 1081 days ago)

Body, Tattoo, Elephant

Drivenslush says:

Author.. I'm going to hold my vote until I can see exactly how this is a tattoo.. it really needs to be "IN A SCENE" to make sense to me. Not a bad thing, but I think the image should be "coming out" of a chest/arm/leg. Not a dig.. just a little confusing to me at moment.

The image is very well done, but I'm not sure how it fits into the theme of the contest.. good luck

author says:

Hi Ernest, take a look at the original source tat. It is coming out of the side of a very hairy body. I left the lower ears and legs of the animal as they are on the original tat, except for changing the color slightly to blend with the color of the elephant. I put the elephants trunk over the mans shorts. The art filter has just made the hairy stomach less hairy looking. The idea of the contest is to BLEND the tat into the real thing to make it appear as if the picture is coming alive. In my own opinion, I did a good job.

I agree. It would have been better if we could see the original tattoo coming to life but we can not see the tattoo

author says:

Thank you very much for your complimentary comment velkanx. If you cannot see the transition between the tattoo and the real elephant, then in my own opinion I succeeded in the challenge.
If you look carefully at the original source and compare my work to it, you will see the original tattoo on the lower ears and legs and also on the shadows of the ears. The only thing that has been changed is the color so it blends better with the color of the elephant. If the transition between tattoo and the real thing were too obvious, I do not think the blending would show the tattoo coming alive.

The problem IMHO is the original source with the tattoo. That image is not really clear to start with. That art filter you used was no good idea IMHO it made it even more unclear with fading the edges inwards. You could have made the original image bigger and fade outwards, leaving the body which holds the tattoo more intact, maybe even expand on it by adding for instance an arm.
Please don't take what I'm saying too harsh, you're mentally still to attached to the image. This happens to all of us. Take another look at this image and the comments in 6 months or so and you'll see what I, and others, are saying and you might see what we mean

The blending is well done, no critique there just a

author says:

Thank you for the critique and suggestions for improvement. I appreciate it.

You can never run out of time when you have it on you.
I basically traced the clockwork parts of the tattoo to make the parts I needed, added textures to them, bevelled and embossed them, added shadows, did some freehand painting, some soft light overlays, changed background color, did some dodge and burn and that's about it.

Tattoo, clock, time, arm

Moderator says:

Author did you have a source for the centre pin that the clock hands are on?

author says:

Yes, I will find it and add it to sources.

lchappell says:

Show us a "SBS", please. Concerning the center pin especially.

author says:

Selected the left hand side of the bolt, rotated it and transformed it with the transform tools. If you look closely and compare, you can see where the rust patterns match the source bolt.

Ouch.. ouch.. ouch ouch ouch.... hehehe

author says:

Yep, slightly painful, but bionic men can be oiled and fixed by replacing rusty parts.

Drivenslush says:

Men being oiled? NAWTY NAWTY.. hehehe

(5 years and 1076 days ago)

author says:

Depends where you put the oil.
Backs and legs and other 'armless places and not nawty at all.
Need some suntan lotion?

also the legs from another girl, are from one of my own pictures.
no external sources used.
i uploaded my own pictures in the sbs.
i just explain that because my entry was red flagged but there is no reason for it.

strange, tattoo

JamesD says:

For external sources you need to link to the info page NOT the actual image page, as we have no way of telling whether it's usable. It's down to you to prove the validity of your sources. I'm going to guess it's not usable. It looks illustrated. (which is against the rules unless you've illustrated it, in which case you'd need to provide some sbs's of the process)

cgtextures.com have a range of x-ray's that could probably replace your skull.

As for your entry itself, my initial advice would be to inset your metal parts more, at the moment they look pasted on and not a part of the woman...
