In Photoshop:
Set your paper to 8.5 x 11
Resolution: 150
Requirements:
Background image that will be appropriate to your monster.
Different limbs for arms, legs, hands, feet, head, and torso.
Arrange layers so that they look believable and work with the rest of the body- This may mean erasing and using filters and adjustments to make the pieces work together.
Shadow-You will need to create a realistic shadow for your monster. We will demonstrate this in class.
Hint: In order to make your monster believable think about keeping parts and pieces similar in style. For example if you are using super heroes try to keep all the pieces from super heroes.
