"RAWR!!!"

This is the second piece I created in PhotoShop. Our assignment was to create a figure using pieces of different photographs. I took a base photo of my friend, Amanda, in a animal-like pose, and added animal features to her. The rams were a final touch that I really like and helped give the figure more volume and a more rounded outline. The sky, foreground, and background are also each separate elements. I wanted to give the impression that this picture had been taken using flash photography, hence the dramatic shadowing. There's a few things about this piece that could be edited (as is always the case) but I like how this one turned out.
