Ok, figured out that matching skin tones is friggin hard!!
So, the first one looks....well, photoshopped...
I used all my own pictures to do this one:
Shallen was shying from the camera....I just happened to have a pet worth shying about ^_^

I had to re-add in all around the spider, you can tell in between its legs and on her skin..I think the shirt came out rather well ^_^ I had to rebuild some parts of Shallen too...lol, I won't mention where, that would give it away..And the also said I couldn't to clothing folds, I think I redid some of them rather well :)

This is the picture I wanted to alter, but first things first, Sarah and tack had to be removed lol

I wasn't sure if I was keeping the background at the time, so I fixed it a little, and I had to re-add in all the missing parts of Velvet, which made it looks really blurry, and it took a while to figure out how to get the brush strokes out of it, but I figured it out...sorta..
I finally decided what I wanted to do, so I nipped a starry background, which wasn't exactly like what I wanted, I decided to fix that too
And then added some more effects to it, and decided to change Velvet completely..

I think it turned out pretty good for a first try :)
Let me know honestly what you think!!
