Yee Kuang Hooi's work part 1

And now, I have to take my turn to post already =x=
Firstly, my first animal crossbreed are penguin and dove.
And I name it as Pendove.

I found two picture of both animals as a reference.
Dove Wing
g
Penguin

And now I started my work.
Firstly,I use rectangular marquee tool to cut it.
After that the crop line was automatically attach to the side of the dove wing.
And then, I press Alt + right click to copy  the Dove Wing Picture.
After that I place it at the Penguin.png


After that, I duplicate 2 more dove wing layer.
Then, I take the First dove wing to start masking layer.
After click the Masking Layer tool,
I use brush to start removing the unwanted part.
The same method used for both side's wing and tail.


After that, I think the Penguin's wing are so annoyed, So I decided to remove it.
I use Polygonal lasso tool to crop it, and den delete it.
Same method are used on the other wing.




Lastly, It is the tail.
The original tail look does not suit the angle of the current penguin.
I use Ctrl + Right click to make it look better.
After that masking technque is used to remove unwanted place.



After all thing are checked and repair, A crossbreed animal -- Pendove is born.

JASON WONG - WORK PART 1 (Giraffe + Tiger)

This what I did (picture above) for my 'tiger+giraffe' as I combine them...Below is how I did it:
 First, since my photoshop is already opened, I went toFile>New and edit the settings and clicked 'OK'. I then dragged the giraffe picture that I have saved in my computer after I downloaded it from the internet into the photoshop.
Next,  I renamed the layer 'giraffe-statue' to 'girraffe'. Then, I duplicate the layer to create layer 'girraffe copy'.
 After that, I dragged a picture of a tiger that I downloaded from the internet in the photoshop and selected 'place'.The new layer is called 'tiger-regal'
Then, I lower down the tiger's opacity so that it is easy for me to adjust the tiger's image. When I'm done, I 'razterise' the tiger layer and erased whats not needed on the layer.

Next, I turned my tiger layer from 'Normal' to 'Overlay' with the opacity setting that I set to 100%. I then erase the neck part, not all, because I would later use the mixer brush tool.
I then select the the layer 'girraffe-copy' and used the mixer brush tool to 'mix brush' from the neck part to its whole lower body.
 I then select the layer 'tiger-regal' and used the burn tool (shortkey: [ALT]+[left-click mouse]) to darken some parts of the giraffe+tiger and dodge tool (just-left click on an object) to lighten up some parts of it. I also lowered the opacity from 100% to 83%.
I then set the layer to 'Hard light' from 'Overlay' and lower its opercity to 60%. I also erased more a bit on the neck of the giraffe. By the way, the brownish-pink-looking color below the giraffe+tiger appears clearly afer i set the 'tiger-regal' layer to 'Hard light'.

I'm done!
