In this project I had to combine 2 animals for make it seem like 1 animal. I picked a giraffe and a flamingo to combine. I chose this because both have relatively long necks and I thought it would be cool to put the giraffe neck on a flamingo. First I took the photo of the giraffe and cut out the neck area. On the flamingo picture I used the clone tool to take out the flamingos head and still keep the green background. I then placed the cut out giraffe head where the flamingo's head used to be. I used the smudge and liquefy tool to blend the neck into the rest of the flamingos body. I then went to Hue/Saturation and changed the giraffes color to the closest color to the rest of the flamingo. I then smudged the edges of the giraffe's neck, so it would blend in to the background better. Lastly, the flamingo had a shadow on its body, so I used the blotch and patch tool and got rid of the shadow. I think the piece was pretty successful. One thing I think I could've done differently is just have kept the flamingo neck and put a giraffes head on top. I also could have put a flamingo head on a giraffe. By doing this piece I feel like I've built on my photoshop skills by a lot.
