That’s right he’s leafing. Anyway, I’m still trying out some variations on things. It’s good for you. Let’s you know you’re alive. Click on MORE for a little bit o’ making of stuff.
It all started with this leaf that Merrill and I found on one of our leaf hunts. Other than the elephant’s hat, he’s all made out of this leaf. Well, I guess his eyes and tusks are made out of a different leaf too. But by volume, he’s mostly this leaf.
——————————————————-
First I started making some alpha masks in the shape of the elephant’s different shapes.
——————————————————-
Here’s some masks for his eyes, trunk and feet.
——————————————————-
Then I used those to mask out the leaf. I had a diffent layer for each shape.
——————————————————-
Here he is with his hat and eyes, etc.
——————————————————-
And finally, here’s a close up of the final product. I added a touch of drop shadow to each shape, and a little bit of highlight to the edges too.
Hehe- awesome.
ahh, that whole big thing was a punny joke. I appreciated it. 🙂
