Grey Cat 2

Second manipulation attempt, corrupting another picture of idol Chiasa Aonuma. The original photograph had interesting light contrasts going for it, which I tried to maintain on the new 'skin'; because of her pose, I decided to add in an almost fully visible tail as well, which was an interesting experience to mold/match.

While working on the manipulation, I ran into some shortcomings of the source material I was using however: manipulating an image of these proportions is quite an undertaking, and requires some very high-res reference material for the fur and such. A good lesson for future manipulations.

While I think the overall effect works better in this second attempt to emulate Silverfish's manipulation style, there are a lot of details I'm not happy about yet.
