Favorite Textures Scanned

I didn't actually get a chance to use the middle one but it was still nice. 

Texture Mapping Project

This was my Texture Mapping project for ART 291. I started with a photo of my Irish cousin's jumper Dover's Rover. From there:
I cut and pasted the tail and wing onto the horse body. The wing I used the mesh warp on to give it a more concave look.
I used the quick-mask tool, then inverted it to select the neck so I could
more accurately place in the blue around the neck. I used the clone tool to
fill in the gaps.
For the face I selected part of the markings around the eye of a peacock,
then pasted that in, using the opacity slider to make sure I was erasing
correctly. Then I used the clone tool to drag the markings down so they
fit over the rest of the face.
The mane I cut and pasted, and then cloned as well from the comb of a peacock
then used the opacity slider to erase around the ears.
The body and legs are also products of the clone tool used after careful
cut and pasting.
I then went over the image with the blur tool to blend edges, and the burn
tool to create shadows.
The background was taken outside of Philadelphia at night, and is sort of
an afterthought but I do like suburbia at night.
I call it: The Peahorse. I'm not terribly good at naming things.

I like to think I gave Rover a more fantasy feel, and yet at the same time was able to ground the image with a suburban background.
