Learn how to create a creature that lives under water...
-
Step 1 Before you start writing me emails, I know this ain't a Zora. I just felt it had much in common.
Zora's ofcourse have a different face and a different body. Still this creature is worthy of having a name so I chose a Zora-lookalike;
-
Step 2 For this tutorial I used stocks from snake-skin or snake-leather;
-
Step 3 Duplicate the leather-layer many times and scale and position them over arms and parts of the body;
-
Step 4 Then do them one at a time.
Just lower the opacity and start erasing with a blurry brush;
-
Step 5 Opy this layer and flip it horizontal and erase some parts so it fits with the layer;
-
Step 6 Then do the leg(s);
-
Step 7 And the neck;
-
Step 8 And ofcourse the arms...
-
Step 9 Make sure the textures flows into each other...
-
Step 10 ...like what I did here;
-
Step 11 And finish the texturing;
-
Step 12 On a new layer that you've set to Color or Hue (depending on your picture) brush some blue on it;
-
Step 13 Do everything that is the body, so no objects, bikini or background;
-
Step 14 Then on a new layer, which is set to Overlay, brush some black over the lips and some white over the eyes;
-
Step 15 Tweek the body a little and fix spots if needed...
-
Step 16 I chose to add the gills of a muchroom, but you can choose any image;
-
Step 17 Place them and trun them and maybe even transform the perspective a little;
-
Step 18 Then go to Filter>Liquify and tweek the nose and the ear(s).
