Original image
step 1 of 8
Using the pen tool the stock images were masked out, re-sized and placed into position.
step 2 of 8
The first sky image was placed in the background.
step 3 of 8
I added shadows udner the objects and a curves adjustment on the mountain. The sky wasn;t quite as dramatic as i wanted it to be, and so i used a second sky image and overlayed it on top, then applied a levels adjustment.
step 4 of 8
More work on the shading of the model. The wing was cut out and placed onto the model. It was a bit too short and chubby for the sleek creature i was trying to create, so i warped and liquified the wings to get a better shape.
step 5 of 8
Adjustments (levels, curves) applied to the wings, and a new layer with some white lighting.
step 6 of 8
Light rays added using my normal method:
New layer with a black and white "clouds filter" applied to it, i then used "Threshold" to which i then applied a heavy zoom blur filter to it. The light was then masked and set to "Overlay"

To make sure all the colours matched, and also to create a nice mood, I applied all the following adjustment layers with varying blend modes and opacitites
step 8 of 8
This is the result of the colour adjustments.
