Entry guide: step 6 of 8

Couldn't find a way to blend rope into what was showing of the body..messed with that about...2 hours..lol

So decided to do a head shot..

Yep, you guessed it...copy and paste

Entry guide: step 7 of 8

Was going to finish with this but thought it needed a little border or something...

used crack pattern and bucket filled.

erased some parts from 'ear' and cloned some holes
