 Saw this set of photos in a UK newspaper photo article - 'Survival of the Freakiest'. Check them out - http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/gallery/2009/mar/25/evolution-biodiver... What do you think they used to create them? Enjoy! | |

 Just looking at the images they have, I guess the way I would do it is to 1) cut out the relevant head to "transplant", 2) place the head in about the right position on another photograph, 3) adjust fur color on both to match each other (the match color tool in Photoshop might help too), 4) blend the edge where the new head meets the old body, 5) transfer some scales or stripes or whatever to help the illusion | |

 Alpha Masks and Vectors are the harder things to learn and take quite a bit of practice, they help a lot though once you learn them. Especially with stuff like this where blending is key. | |

 yeah, i think you could definitely learn to photomanipulate this well. The zebra one is the best in the set for me. It shows great knowledge of light and shadow, which is critical, i have quite a problem with it sometimes =p . but I totally think Marathon Designs is right, you could learn to do this caliber of work. alpha masks are hard, Im still figuring them out and I've been trying for a while, but they can make the difference between "Woah!" and "..Eh" | |

Most of that is fairly basic actually. It looks hard but is fairly easy. Most of it is alpha masks, blending, overlays, texturing and cloning. | |

 Not bad of a job, but the lighting for the most part gives it away. | |

 This artist is probably more than likely familiar with the Adobe Creative Suite Collections as well as possibly Cinema 4D or even Poser. They did a good job in working around the creatures anatomy and made it look real. Thanks for sharing. | |

Wow, a lot of that stuff is pretty impressive. But I'm gonna say it's definitely photoshop... It's crazy what people can do with photoshop. Like this guy, I think he's pretty decent at it! http://www.flickr.com/photos/42311564@N00/sets/1257699/ | |

 My friend Rodrigo can create images like this using photoshop CS2. it's all about clone stamping, layers, and blending. | |

 I would have to guess at Adobe Photoshop? it is amazing though that they were able to work them together so seamlessly. Well i guess thats what makes you a professional... | |
