I masked out a zebra and placed it on the models picture... looking at my layers you can see i had been playing arround with several things before i came to this

I lowered the opacity on the zebra layer so i could see the model thru it and with warptool i brought it in the position i wanted it

I duplicated the zebra layer and turned it upside down. transformed a selection to cut out a part to create the back of the model.

The part of the zebrathat i used to make the backpart for the model

after warping the back into shapw i had this.

I removed some part of a tail from another zebra that stood next to this one to make the skin look nicer. Here on this image you can see that part really well..

I used patch tool on the parts where you could see the copy paste lines and made it all nice equal.

Here you can see that i finished the whole back part and i had started working on the arm and hand. I used one of the legs from the zebra for the arm...

for the hand i created a different skin for each of the fingers so it wouldnt just look like an overlay.

you can still see all the copy paste lines on the arm here too.. they will be all worked away later on with patch tool and a lot of lil copy pasted small parts :)

And this is the last sbs image i made.. I kinda forgot making more o.o;

here is a closer look on all the fingers with an overlay blend on the zebra skin layers.. i had merged all the layers before putting the overlay.

the hair was tricky.. i tried several methods but wasnt satisfied with any so i just masked it out the old fashioned way and altho that was very time consuming it worked the best. i duplicated one of those layers with hair n put it on overlay n fiddled arround with some more layers with hair and blending modes.

i duplicated the bodyskin and put the top one on softlight to get a lil rid of the reddish color and the bottom one on overlay..

last but not least i checked all edges and erased all lil parts that i think where needed.. i softened the edges with a soft blur brush and corrected a few more ugly spots on the zebraskin..

the flower i had masked out as well and put that layer on top of the arm so it would not look like i put a skin on that too.
