Just curious if anyone had seen a tutorial that might deal with this at all. Started when I had posted a humorous pic of a bunny with tiger stripes (done perfectly-don't know who did it) Which lead me to try putting cheetah-like fur over this bunny. It's okay, just wondered if anyone had tripped over any info on doing something like this. AgentSmith

Thanks. Here's the original bunny I found somewhere on the net, nicely done Bengal Bunny. AS

Looking at the Bengal Bunny, my first impressions would be as follows:

Using an medium-large airbrush brush set to 'color', lay down the orange fur pattern over most of the body. Then, with a smaller sized brush, do the stripes in a very dark brown (don't use black or too much of the hair indication gets lost).

Next, with a photo of a tiger's face handy for reference, repeat for the head in finer detail.

For the cheetah, you seem to have overlaid the fur pattern over the entire body and head at the same time, with a separate layer overlay. I would suggest doing the body and head separately, as a cheetah does have distinct facial markings that need separate attention.

I suppose if you are careful with the Image-Liquify, you could adapt a photo of a cheetah's head to the shape of the rabbit's head before dropping the layer onto it. And again, I would suggest using a 'color' merge in order to preserve the bunny's own fur-growth patterns.

Any one else with suggestions?

"Oh, yeah. Ooooo. Aaaaah. That's how it starts.
Then, later, there's ...running. And....screaming."

Those are Excellent suggestions! Yeah, I did my bunny in like 15 minutes, lol. So, I knew it was lacking. But, using the liquify to morph the cheetah head onto the bunnies, that was one solution I was hoping for. `Cause, you're right, (at least) the head and body need to be seperate, if not a few other parts. The only real work I did on him was to quickly paint some black hairs coming off the dark spots of fur into the lighter areas. Thanks! AS

You could ask at worth1000.com, they're pretty incredible at it there.

Hadn't actually ran across that site before, Thanks! AS

i'm inspired! Giraffe bunnies, bengal bunnies lion bunnies and a whole entire zoo of endagered species fur ontop of the breeding powerhouse that is .rabbit.
