Step 17
Open crow 1 stock. Isolate him and put him beside model ear:
Add layer mask to crow 1 layer and use soft brush with opacity about 50-55% to blend the lower part of the crow with model head:
Step 18
On the crow 1 layer, go to Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Gradient Map and check Clipping Mask options:
Pick default colors (black and white) for Gradient Map to desaturate this crow:
Step 19
I used Curves with Clipping Mask to darken this crow:
Step 20
Add crow 2 after extracting to the disintegrated hair part of the model:
Use derbis brushes with same setting in step 4 to blend the crow with this disintergration.
Step 21
Use a Gradient Map layer with black and white for this crow :
Step 22
Put crow 3 at the right of the pic, between flying feathers:
I used Curves to lower the contrast of the crow:
Step 23
I added a Hue/Saturation layer to desaturate this crow:
Step 24
Make some layers on the top. Use black and debris brushes to add to disintegrated hair. Play with transform tools and different brushes until you feel good. Don’t hesitate to use layer mask if needed to get a better result. Here is mine:
Step 25
Make group for debris layers as done with model and hair. Use Curves above all these ones to decrease the contrast of them a little:
Step 26
Create a layer on the top. Use a red color for brush (I picked #ff0000) to paint on the eye of the crow beside model ear to make an evil effect. Change the mode to Color 100%:
Step 27
We’ll add some decoration to model eye. Make a new layer and pick black for basic brush with 2 px. Press F5 to change settings of this brush to Pen Pressure:
Use this brush to paint small lines around model eye and on crow 1. This does not need to be so precise and neat:
Step 28
On a new layer use same brush with with red color (#ff0000) to paint another lines between black ones:
Step 29
Add spiral brush (number 1176) to model eye with smaller size. I used layer mask to remove unwanted lines:
Step 30
Final step: I used a Hue/Saturation layer to increase the vibrance of the red effect:
