Column

Grass Field

Steps
1. I selected a Canteloupe, an alligator skin and LeBron James


2. Open the LeBron-mask it out
then "place embedded" the Canteloupe, mask it out
Use opacity on the Canteloupe get the same size the two items.
Try to match body parts.
Do the same for alligator skin and strawberry texture.

3. Choose Filter, Liquify when on the Canteloupe layer.
Make sure to checkbox Show Backdrop. Then use: drop-down to Lebron.
I adjusted the opacity to see both around 50%.
Then I warped the canteloupe to match Lebron's face.
Parts that stick out too much are removed later.
Do the same for alligator skin and strawberry texture

4. Then CTRL click the Lebron MASK then paint on the canteloupe MASK.
After that I chose SHIIFT-CTRL-I then painted with white around the Canteloupe to remove the extra parts.
On the Canteloupe layer I chose the blending option 'multiply'
Then I added a new Adjustment Layer Brightness/contrast

5. I did the same steps to the rest of his face and added other materials like alligator skin and strawberry.

6.Then I selected all my layers and duplicated them then merged them so I can add the background in and only have to show 1 layer rather than a bunch.

7.Add Watermark

Steps

1. I selected a snake skin, a lemon slice and a Car
that basically have the same position.

2. Open the Car-mask it out
then "place embedded" the snake skin, mask it out
Use opacity on the  snake skin to get the same size the two items.
Try to match body parts. Do again for lemon slice

3. Choose Filter, Liquify when on the snake skin layer.
Make sure to checkbox Show Backdrop. Then use: drop-down to Car.
I adjusted the opacity to see both around 50%.
Then I warped the snake and lemon skin to match the car.
Parts that stick out too much are removed later.

4. Then CTRL click the Car MASK then paint with black on the Snake Skin MASK.
After that I chose SHIIFT-ALT-I then painted with white around the Snake Skin to remove the extra parts.
On the snake skin layer I chose the blending option 'multiply'
Then I added a new Adjustment Layer Brightness/contrast
I got the eraser tool and took off the Snake skin off the windows and other interesting aspects of the car that shouldn't be changed.
Then did these steps with the lemon slice as well.

5.Then I selected all my layers and duplicated them then merged them so I can add the background in and only have to show 1 layer rather than a bunch.

And also added my watermark.
