Steps:
- First I started off by placing the picture of the fish down
- Next I placed the picture of the bird in a separate tab to mask its head off to paste it onto the fish picture. I then removed some edged bits using the zoom function and eraser tool.
- Then I moved the bird head by selecting the layer and using Ctrl - T to line up with the fishes head, along with warping it into shape.
- I then created a layer-mask on the bird layer, selected it, and filled it with black paint using the paint bucket tool.
- After filling in the square, I then used the paintbrush tool with white paint to over the black paint revealing the eagles head. I used this technique because it helps me get exactly what parts I want without going through the long processes of layering and masking in Photoshop.
- Next, I selected the magnetic lasso tool to outline the fish and copy pasted the selected parts onto a new layer.
- Furthermore, I applied clip masking to the duplicated fish layer to the bird head layer using Ctrl - Alt - G and then warped the duped fish layer to fit the bird's head using Ctrl - T and applied.
- After that, I selected the duped fish layer and used the clone stamp tool in my best attempt to blend in the fish's eye.
- Now that the fish-bird fusion is done, I merged all the layers together and copied with Ctrl - C, opened up some kind of background I found online in a separate tab, and pasted the fish-bird abomination onto the background moving it with Ctrl - T to make it seem more into place.
- To touch up I used the dodge tool to shine some light on my creature on areas that would make sense with my background, and burned some dark spots to add some shading effect.
- Finally, I then added my blog spot address and finished up by saving it and exporting it as a PNG.
