Creative Project: Preliminary Round 2

I figured out how to do the sunburst tutorial I mentioned in my last post and I changed the layer to overlay over my green background. Then I used the Eraser tool and a decorative brush to 'cut out' the shape in the background. For my zombie girl, I used the Cutout Filter to give her a more cartoon-y appearance (trying to use the pen tool to make her a vector was just not working out). I used the bone I had made in Illustrator and used the Transform tools to get them into the shape that I wanted. I put in each bone one by one which was a bit time consuming, and then merged all of those layers. I am still trying to figure out how to make the bones sort of 'blend' more with the rest of the design. Then I just added some text with a Stroke and Drop shadow effect.
