Okay peoples.

Instructions for Butterflies

This is for photo manipulation, peoples.
1. Click download deviation.... hopefully that'll work. Otherwise you can click download right click and save.... blahblahblah etc. Hopefully it'll come as a PSD, which is how i was forced to save it to retain the transparant background.
2. Once you have the butterflies, open with photoshop. You will notice that the ones on the left are in flying position, and the ones on the right are straight. There is a reason for this. You can use photoshop with the ones on the right to create the flying butterflies in an assortment of positions.
3. Assuming that you want to create a butterfly position... you pick one on the right that you like or want. Then select and move it to a seperate transparant picture.
4. Once you are on such and such a picture with your butterfly you select the wing you want to be in front, or if neither, you pick just... one of them.
5. Keep that wing selected. Go to edit, transform and mess around with the skew/distort/etc options that are there, until your wing is in the right position.
6. Set the other wing to match.
7. If you moved hte wing away to work on it, this would be the time to move it back into place onto the body of the butterfly, that was hopefully not being altered. Now you just reattach everything, and rotate wings as needed.
8. You MAY want to make undersides of wings different colors are make them darker for added realism, but this is up to you.



Note: These are the natural wing colors of these specific butterflies. They are all pieces of photographs of these butterflies that i've taken personally, and are not from books or anywhere else, but i've seen them, so this is how they look. BUT!!!!! You can change the colors of the butterflies. If you want variety or the like. Its just Image->Adjust->Hue/Saturation.




Okay, have fun, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
