The PST Troll

I made a green sphere by using the circular marque tool and the gradients.

I used the pen tool to start drawing a troll. Although as I went I made changes.

Added a kind of lumpy back with the pen tool.

Used original sphere and transformed it using the warp tool to the shape of the nose.

Started copying the original sphere I made and using it to warp into parts of the face.

colored the "whites" of the eyes with yellow gradient tool.

Made the Iris in another window with the circular marque tool and gradient tool.

Made a new layer and used the gradient tool to give it little shot of different colors.

I took the colors of what I had for the eye and changed its polor cordinates as shown, first tried motion blur, but then used filter wind to make the colors look more like they eye.

didn't like what it looked like after step 15 so I added more colors and did step 15 again.

This is what the layers looked like after the wind effect and me putting it back the way it was by reversing the polor cordinates.

Cut off the extra outside the iris then made a new layer for the pupil and reflections.

Once I moved the eye onto the troll I selected it using the Ctrl select in the layers box, inversed it, then modified the selection by expanding selection 8 pixels. After that I gave it a 2 pixel gaussian blur so the edge wouldn't be to sharp.

Made the ears with original sphere.

Took original sphere and desaturated it then changed teh brightness and warped it for the robe.

Start drawing the background with the pen tool.

Start changing each layer to have a slightly different texture with the filter sponge. I also added the color to the background and gave it different effects by using difference clouds and used the pen tool to draw the line for the ground.
