Creating Your Own Skrull Picture


As promised, here's how i used photoshop to create the "skrull" image

Step 1: Obtain pictures of a Skull, Yourself and/or a human brain.


                       [   Skull   ]



[ Brain ?? ]




                        [ Face /Ass ]





Step 2 : Use the 'Transformation' tool to adjust all the images. Use the skull as a base. The brain image needs some serious tweaking. Modify the 'perspective' in Transform mode to match the skull. Your picture forms the topmost layer.


Step 3: Start removing parts of you image. Make sure you show off the important features of the skull (socket,teeth etc.)


Step 4: Use the liquify tool to properly align your facial features with the skull. Don't worry if the image stops looking like you... we'll be doing some serious filtering :-)

Step 5: Entropy !! ... use your brush and make some senseless nasty impressions over the image

Step 6: Use photoshop's filter gallery on the whole image/or each layer. Experimentation can really yield some cool results. I used the "glowing edges" filter on the skull layer and my picture,varying the different attributes for each ...

Step 7: Show Off ... i'm sure you won't be needing a detailed explanation for this :-)
