step 1 of 33
Chop out the old tap
step 2 of 33
added in my guitar photo I took on my green screen with my new Nikon Camera
step 3 of 33
Next took a few duplicate old taps and set them in for the head and hands areas
step 4 of 33
Next duplicated the tap again and placed it behind the first head tap to give more depth
step 5 of 33
More Adjustments and masking a bit on hands and healing bursh with CTA
step 6 of 33
Warped the top portions for the start of the hair like feature
step 7 of 33
Then adjusted the back layer
step 8 of 33
added in another tap layer and masked out a bit of the extra pipe threading
step 9 of 33
form was a bit weird at this point so I then decided to go into the liquify tool from here
step 10 of 33
once I touch up the back area a bit then I used the burn and dodge tools as well as the CTA again for seams a tad more
step 11 of 33
Decided to keep it a bit more stretchy here to look like it had been raining on the hair portion
step 12 of 33
Wanted to cause a spike in hair so so I didnt move any more of the bottom portions I froze the areas and pinched the top edges up a bit
step 13 of 33
So once I had the over all idea to have the rest take shape I sketched in a body to go by
step 14 of 33
Added the hands back in place and adjuste more up in the center of the page
step 15 of 33
Then I took another Tap and squished it downward and masked in a bit more to start the outer arm edges with my sketch guide
step 16 of 33
Yet again another Tap to be added in for the shoulder areas and just warped in to shoulder area then masked out portions I didn't want
step 17 of 33
More Warp
step 18 of 33
Ok now the inner and outer arm areas were taking shape and just for fun I decided to leave in the other pipe threaded area to him
step 19 of 33
Here I applied the same rule of thumb and worked on the opposite arm and shoulder areas
step 20 of 33
step 21 of 33
More warping and shaping of the outer arm areas
step 22 of 33
Ok here is where I decided to take the handle of the tap and scrunch it down and just use the it for the inner portions of the arms
step 23 of 33
Then once I had them in took another tap and added behind and then using the pen tool went around the torso area of the Rainy Rocker :)
step 24 of 33
moved the guitar away to mask in and around the belly and hip areas and heal a bit up as well
step 25 of 33
Then once I brought the guitar back in place I decided to mask and erase around some areas to make the tap handle look more like fingers a bit
step 26 of 33
Once I had that done then I again took a larger portion of the tap handle and warped it and stretched it down to fit my sketch for the pants area
step 27 of 33
step 28 of 33
Next added the threaded pipe area to the bottom of the foot area and since the stance was right on the threaded pipe area seemed to fit in as a boot
step 29 of 33
Warped out the boot and masked it in a bit more
step 30 of 33
fixed up the other finger areas on the upper neck of the guitar area
step 31 of 33
burned in and dodged in here and there with some CTA healing and proximity matching a bit
step 32 of 33
And then added in some curves and vibrancy for the color and did some toning and color adjustments again with burn and dodge.
