The making of A Day In The Forest, step by step...

Changed the blending mode

Made a few cracks & started the "snakes" body

Googled SNAKE and found this beast. Used the pen tool 2 "trace" around it

After a LOOONG while got the basic outline for it.

After lots of cloning for the skin, filtering for the mouth, and warping for the teeth (used the girls nail 2 make the tooth) with added textures. also added some "scales" 2 the body

Found some bugs 2 put into the picture along with a mouse & spider. (from http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml)

Finally used a technique I learned a good while ago 2 bring "light" into the picture & make it (in my opinion) seem natural. Doesnt look like much but I spent a good minute of this design and would like 2 have yalls input on how 2 improve it or whatever. Theres always something u can add 2 make it look better. Hard part is just figureing it out.
