here i've already enlarged the eyes, made the background dark, and changed the skin tone to blue. i used a soft round brush with opacity set at 45% and set to color to change the skin tone. the eyes were transfered to a seperate layer and i used free transform to get them the size i wanted. i used warp to give them a "cats" eye look.

and this shows the ears being added...i got the ears from the link in source 1.

process of building the hair...i wanted it to fall infront of the ears, so i made layers of hair to blend and transform together.

also, i've started adding the striping on the face using burn on a very low strength.
AND..the nose! let me tell you about that nose. i used warp in the transforming, instead of pushing left like the tutorial said to use. i had a much better out come after about 2 hours of messing around with it. :P then i used the paintbrush set to a light pink, and tipped the end of the nose.

added more dodge to the eyes to lighten them up. hair is completed except for the color change.

i've added flowers in the background using annika von holdts "flowers of evil" brushes on a 75% opacity over the black background already there. also, dodging done on the face to add the "sparkles."

here i just show where i've changed the color of the shirt and finished the hair. also, i've done some dodging on the flower petals to give that glow that is so prominent on pandora.

original picture taken by myself.

some of the background was painted out and the original was saved over, but it was only part of the black background on the right of the picture. :P
