    Now it is time to make your own creature that has never been seen before! Using layers, opacity, masking tools, color matching and painting tools to replace your creatures' skin with another's. Use cut and paste to give extra arms, eyes, ears etc. Use your creativity to come up with something truly unique! Then give it an appropriate name. You will also be placing it on a light color background using shadowing affects to cast a shadow of your creature.

    • Check List:
    • Background Picture is painted
      • Grading for cleanliness − Did you change brush sizes to maintain detail
      • Grading for paint color mix − did you use wet paint setting for better blending of paining

    • Critter has at least 5 differnt animal parts
      • Cutting of images is done clean
      • Using either color match tool or masking tools for skin animal parts look real
      • All images have been copied to a second layer and turned into a layer enhancement
