Product Information

Let's follow suit by creating a New Layer and setting it to Soft Light. Use a Soft Round Brush (30-50% Opacity, 0% Hardness) to paint dark yellow #846138 light (from the flames) onto the columns, floor, and nearby details. Lower the Layer Opacity to 40%. Create a New Layer above the rest. Use a Hard Round Brush (100% Opacity, 100% Hardness) to paint two dark brown #2c2316 column shapes on the right and left sides These will be pillars that hold fire. Then create a New Adjustment Layer of Curves above the previous one. Adjust the curves for the Blue, Red, and RGB Channels as shown. We're looking to add a great sunset vibe to this piece with these steps. Step 2 Set a New Layer as a Clipping Mask above the curves adjustment. Then change the Layer Blend Mode to Linear Dodge (Add). Then add a New Adjustment Layer of Curves below the throne layer (it should be above the floor/column layers in the panel). Adjust the curves for the RGB Channel like so for more intense shadows.

Add New Layers set as Clipping Masks to each garment. Use the same color as before to add more realistic shadow to each piece. Keep the shadows soft and light and experiment for the best result.

Step Three:

Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) to grab a selection of the pyramid, sand and sky from this Egyptian Pyramid photo. So take this opportunity to dedicate New Layers to digital painting. Smooth out the shadows how you'd like, paint Egyptian-inspired makeup on the cats, or add more collar details like Ankhs.

To create a new stone floor, we'll need to open the original Egyptian Columns photo again and use the floor from the picture. Use a Soft Round Brush (30% Opacity, 0% Hardness) to paint brown #452812 shadow on the lower parts of the throne and chair legs.

Recommendations

Select the Lasso Tool (L) and create a small selection of the stone floor, including the shadows and lower columns seen in the forefront. Part of the hassle of photo art is setting the images in place. Now we'll work to clean up the environment so that the scene makes more sense visually. First, paint smoother shadows to balance everything out. We'll be adding texture later. Make sure to remember key details like shadows behind/underneath the cats for more realism. Sew all your pieces together except for the crisscross front opening. Hem all your edges (except for the very bottom edge, which you may choose to leave raw if you like.) Flip it by going to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal and move it over to the right. Name it R Column.

Set a New Adjustment Layer of Curves as a Clipping Mask to the throne layer. Adjust the curves for the RGB, Blue, Red and Green Channels as shown for better lighting. When you're through, blur the pyramid picture by going to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, adding a Radius of 1.3 pixels. 2. How to Make the Cat Costumes Step 1 Create a New Layer and set it to Overlay. Use a Soft Round Brush (10% Opacity, 0% Hardness) to paint a brown #6a5749 haze over the piece for a warmer look. Follow it up by painting white highlights all over the floor towards the fire and chair. Adjust the Opacity as needed.

Keep adjusting the lighting. Clip another New Layer to the throne and set it to Multiply. Use this layer to paint dark brown shadows underneath the chair and cats, and consider how nearby elements affect the lighting. Now for the foam. As you did with the cardboard, cut all your helmet pieces out of your foam. Using your spray adhesive, apply each foam piece to its corresponding piece on the cardboard helmet. Apply the lip pieces last. Reinforce every corner with hot glue, on the outside this time, and of course, around the edge where the lip meets the helmet. Now that we have the base lighting for this photo art set, it's time to finally bring all the colors together. Step 1 Set more New Layers as Clipping Masks to both cats. Use a Soft Round Brush (80% Opacity, 0% Hardness) to paint dark brown #332a20 shadows all over each cat. Create more depth and dimension. Take your time with this step.

Merging all your layers together at some point can really help with fine-tuning your composition. This is also where you can assess mistakes.On another New Layer set to Soft Light, paint in some white light towards the foreground. I'll be adding beams of light coming down from the right and left sides. Step 5 Please note that this helmet was constructed to fit a person about 5”11 tall. Of course, there is a significant amount of wiggle room, but if need be you can shave a few inches off these measurements as required, though I wouldn’t suggest adding any extra on, should the helmet become unwieldy. Add a Layer Mask to each cat headpiece layer and refine the edges. You may need to Warp them significantly for a better fit. Or feel free to omit these details if you'd like. Slide the columns copy over to the left. Resize and adjust the shape to match the right side using the Free Transform Tool (Control-T); try to make the columns taller and straighter. When it comes to attaching the lip to the bottom of the helmet, make a mark all along the lip pieces where your helmet will be placed. (For reference, this will coincide with the dotted lines on the lip pieces in Fig 1.)
