you did a long time to do this i see the result looks worth the time

Most of these kind of montage things takes time. Sometimes days ....
I started out with the original image at 2050 x 3000 pxl in 300 ppi and did a first basic one up to something I thought was good enough to continue working on.
Did the retouching, the basic Colour adjustments, the basic Luminance and Contrast adjustments, the extraction, built the new eyes, did the Warping and Liquify work etc. That took one evening to do. Next day I merged all layers as far as it had come and moved it over to a new image to continue working. Took another full evening before I was satisfied with it.
But it's all about doing that "extra mile".... always about that extra mile...

Thank you, ibclare !
I'm not sure Cindy is watching this post, so if you want to tell her in person you can have a look at Glad to be here or A new manipulation "Broken" posted by herself.
And there's also How to get the Cindy Grundsten Fantasy effect? started by MightyZeus ...
