Original image
step 1 of 11
My own photo of a rock to use as a background
step 2 of 11
Stairs reminded me of a peacock's tail. Also selected out the red door a top of stairs, cut in half and joined 2 complete halves together. Created a screen copy to brighten it up. Resized, transformed and joined together to make half a tail. Then copied half to make whole tail, and joined to stairs.
step 3 of 11
Selected arch and stair curb for face
step 4 of 11
Masked and copied arch to make complete face. Copied tail to make it fancier.
step 5 of 11
More copies of original tail for ears. The white rims look like toenails, so I used more copies for the feet. Cut circles of sky for eyes, and circles of dark door for pupils
step 6 of 11
Selected bottom half of original photo and did polar coordinates. Cut out center and blended with face already made from arches
step 7 of 11
Arranged parts on my rock. Drew rough outline of body connecting parts
step 8 of 11
Selected out my body drawing and used it to select several times the shape from original photo
step 9 of 11
My own photo of the ocean. I thought it would look better than that lakeside grass in the rock photo.
step 10 of 11
Parts arranged. Body made from my favorite of the cut-outs overlayed on one normal mode one. Masked some of the rock and tail into the water and started tweaking features of animal.
step 11 of 11
More tweaking. Copies of animal overlayed to make stronger colors. Final is the softer look I wanted created with the impressionist brush and low opacity white paint
Final result
