Altered eye

Need advice, I saw this fantastic pic in a magazine it was a womans eye with jaguar markings around the eye.I want to do something along those lines

This is my effort so far

I need help doing eyes, this is the sort of idea, but need advice on how to do eyes .

This is a very basic shot. -

The photographer has simple taken a shot of her eye and cropped it tighter. The pupil has been over sharpened - hence the pixelation. A new layer has been applied with the paw prints - basic shapes from photoshop, and a gaussian blur applied to that layer.

All in all a 5 minute job

KK this is my effort

This is what I need help with I need tips to make the eye better, it took me longer than 5 minutes

LOL sorry MS - i should have read properly

Have you got the original??

I will try and find it, is it best to start all over again I don't mind just need help doing eyes.

I need help making the eye look sharper after I have colour popped it, would it better to do it, before the colour popping???

I never thought of doing the gaussian blur, I sat there and blur each bloomin print

It was my fault I didn't explain very well

You could do it using displacement maps so the new layer of paws follows the natural contours of the face... i have a tutorial somewhere of how to do it will have to dig it out when i get a minute

Thanks Sam that would be great, no rush, I will have to find the original first

Thanks for the help

Very unusual MS nice: )

Second attempt

wow your eyes are amazing ! i love the glitter make up esp on your eyebrows!
