Description

I worked on several pictures today. This being the later of all of them. Though little 3d is in it, enough to change the head, I thought it looked the most real and could pass for a fella really standing there. There was a ton of erasing in Photoshop to get the body to blend with the background. The overcast sky helped with blending the manakin with the picture since the sky had the same look to it when that photo was taken. However the background was enlarged, noise added, then blurred so it wasn't stronger than the figure in the forground. Then the lizard head was added and faded into the manakin to appear like the rest of the photo. Thanks to Cylee for the wonderful pictures she donated of her pet lizard to create the head texture of Lizardman. ;) Enjoy-
