A simple problem ?
I think that the following should be fairly simple, but unfortunately I can't seem to figure it out. I would like this skull: 
to be covered with these scales: 
I tried using a displacement map and also defining the scales as a brush, but neither produce the desired result. How do you do it? Thanks, John |

Re: A simple problem ?
Hello John, I had a very quick go at this, but used liquify, as like you the displacement didn't work to well. I painted a few rough lines as shadows and did a plastic wrap on the scales. It does need a lot more work and I think rather than applying liquify to the whole area it would be better to break it down to the various parts of the skull. I added 2 B&W copies of the skull, one at Hard light and one at Soft and lowered the opacity. Don't know if this helps.  |
