Newimal: Thorny Frilled Lizard

1/31/2012

Another picture I'm really happy with the end result of. The two animals I combined were a Thorny Devil and a Frilled Lizard. Both already were kind of over the top intimidation animals. They scare their predators away with their appearance so I figured their combination would be even more intimidating. Again using the warp, rotate, liquify, and eraser I combined the head of the frilled lizard frill and all and plonked it right down on the thorny devil's body. Then it was a matter of using Hue & Saturation setting to change the different parts of his face and frill to more closely match his new body. I ran into some trouble with the edge created between the two colors so I used a bit of paint brush to smooth it and look more natural.
