Hey all! Here's my final piece for the Fantasy Avatar project! I'm really happy about how it turned out. I took a photo of my brother and created an elf like creature out of it. I gave him pointy ears using the liquify mode and made his skin and lips more gold using a tint. I changed the color of his hair, eyebrows and beard to a purple and green combination using hue/saturation. I made his eyes and pupils larger as well as made them a blue/green color. I changed the color of his clothing and added ivy face tattoos as well as an ivy pattern on his clothes. I darkened and tinted the background and added the fairy and sparkles. I also decided that the photo needed to be horizontal. I chose to make it horizontal because I wanted to capture the odd branches of the bush behind him.This project was a challenge and I used a lot of photoshop techniques I have never used before. I hope you all like it!
