To do a manimal picture, I take the two basis pictures and try to blend them in with each other so that the end result is not too human and not too animal, thus "manimal". I do this in Photoshop using a number of different layers in different modes and opacities. When making the choice to distort the animal or the human to make them fit together, I do distort and play with the animal because I want the human subject to be at least a tiny bit recognisable underneath their animal disguise. I usually need about 3 hours to complete a manimal picture.
Those are really neat, and wow 3 hours?! GEEZ! They kind of freak me out though :). You are beyond talented, I could never do this.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Not all of them take three hours, but lots of them do. I guess it depends on whether it just "clicks" together or not!
