About the Image(s)
How I Did It: Theis was very complicated. I started with an arch that was over a bench on Mtkeet Street in San Francisco. I took the parts of the arch that were consistently curved, trying to avoid other elements that would foul up the curvature. I then widened the canvas size ad duplicated and flipped it so they would mirror image side by side. Did it again for a vertical duplicating. I duplicated the original four images together and made it smaller, placed it below the first oe. Did it again for a third set still smaller. When I looked at it, it reminded me of a wolf head, so I decided to carry it out.
I took the Liquify filter and worked on tge eyes, making the more slated. I also smothered out the rectangular edges with the same filter. I worked on sizing and shape with the. Transform filter as well. Looking on line, I found what a wolf nose looked like ad just drew it. . W hen looking ar what I had so far concocted, I decided that the two sides didn’t match very well, so I picked one half and flipped. it. I got rid of the original substituting the layer with the flipped in half sections. I then spent some time on the color. The background I finally used the gradient filter from reddish to white. I then made the eyes even a darker red. Using the pen tool to outline the eyes.
It was fun to work on and as I worked on it, it was a work in progress.

I meant for my COMMENT on MY Image to be deleted after I correctly changed it to a REPLY. That hasn't been deleted, but my comments on yours are now history.
I changed the background color palette which I think made the wolf harder for me to see. Creating the wolf was wonderful work. The eyes stand out no matter what.   Posted: 11/16/2024 17:32:14
