As promised here is the retouching job that I was working on the other day. The owls head on a mans body. You don’t need to know the details, just that it’s part of a campaign with animals heads on peoples bodies.
Here are the 2 starter points for the final image. Both stock shots, the owl shot actually came from http://www.lifeonwhite.com/ which. if you are after wildlife photos shot on a white background it’s worth a look.
This is the final comp. The client was really happy, and so was I. It turned out alright. The hardest thing was trying to give an owl a neck. By their nature they don’t really have necks so I had to create one for him.
More retouching and artwork to follow
