Unfamiliar Reflection II

This piece was recently commissioned by *LadyJazyman. She requested something similar to Cat Change I and provided a variety of stock images for me to work with. I ended up choosing to work with a wonderful shot of the model looking in the mirror similar to Unfamiliar Reflection.

I had a lot of fun with this piece. The model's expression was perfect and her features were very easy to work with. I really felt like I was manipulating two people in this particular photo. I wanted to make sure that the changes I made to the model's reflection matched the changes actually happening to her. The biggest challenge for me was the ear in the foreground. That particular perspective is very difficult when trying to make an ear look pointed. I am, however, happy with how it turned out.

The model's eyes are larger and more almond shaped. Her irises are now green and her pupils are cat-like. The bridge of her nose is wider and the tip of her nose is flatter, pinker and has a rough texture on it (although that may be difficult to see at this resolution). Her ears are pointed. Hairs and whiskers are growing on her cheeks, upper lip, and eyebrows.

I also made changes to the model's hands. Claws are growing from each of her fingers and her thumb has grown short and stubby.
