From what I've seen in the video posted,
this image was the most interesting one I found out of all the images shown. I personally think that the image has a meaning since frogs are a part of the ecosystem. Seeing the frog being peeled, it's like their skin being dried up because of global warming.
In my opinion, here is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve a similar effect to the hybrid:
- Open your canvas and search for two images you want to manipulate. In this case the person chose a frog and a peeled orange.
- Add a layer mask onto the peeled orange and mask over the frog's body. Make sure you resize and align the edges of the orange peel to the frog's body.
- De-saturate the whole image and make a new layer. To make the frog's skin orange, place the orange layer on top of the image and change the blending mode to Color
I am sorry if I am not good at explaining things. But using layer masks can give you a lot of effects for simple hybrid making.
This image is an example I quickly made throughout the tutorial.
Yes it is not a frog and it's a bit crappy but you can achieve effects like these if you use layer masks and I sometimes find the eraser tool on a 300px brush quite handy! That's all.
