step 1 of 7

Creating a vampire strawberry, I cut out the mouth of the vamire and placed it behind the cut out strawberry, masking away the mouth and adding filters and shading. Cut out the wing of the bat and colour filtered it and masked it behind the strawberry, duplicated it and flipped it, to give him 2 wings

Added the camo to the tank using an overlay filter - I wanted to keep the tank detail crisp so I overlayed the tank onto itself with a high pass for added detail.
