First, paint smoother shadows to balance everything out. We'll be adding texture later. Make sure to remember key details like shadows behind/underneath the cats for more realism. Select the Lasso Tool (L) and make a selection around the left four columns. Then hit Control-J to create a copy on a New Layer. These are the new left columns. Use the Lasso Tool (L) to make a selection around the Egyptian Throne. Then Copy and Paste it onto a New Layer above the rest. Center it and resize it (making it a little wider) to fit the scene.

Select the Lasso Tool (L) and create a small selection of the stone floor, including the shadows and lower columns seen in the forefront. I also cleaned up the lower parts of the throne to help make the shadows underneath the legs fit the scene. 3. How to Create Realistic Lighting Follow up with another New Adjustment Layer of Color Lookup, set the 3DLUT File to 3Strip.look, and lower the Opacity to 35%.

Step Seven:

Create a New Layer underneath the first curves adjustment (below the throne layer). We'll use this layer to paint over the floor.

To create a new stone floor, we'll need to open the original Egyptian Columns photo again and use the floor from the picture. Use a Soft Round Brush (10-30% Opacity, 0% Hardness) to paint brown #472c1c haze towards the top of the columns. Adjust the Layer Opacity as needed. Sew all your pieces together except for the crisscross front opening. Hem all your edges (except for the very bottom edge, which you may choose to leave raw if you like.) Although Ancient Egyptians never had a PetSmart, I'm sure they probably dressed up their pets too, so we'll create cute costumes next.Pro Tip: To make things easier, fold your muslin and your T-shirt in half down the middle, that way you get a perfectly symmetrical piece. Please note that this helmet was constructed to fit a person about 5”11 tall. Of course, there is a significant amount of wiggle room, but if need be you can shave a few inches off these measurements as required, though I wouldn’t suggest adding any extra on, should the helmet become unwieldy. Add a Layer Mask to each cat headpiece layer and refine the edges. You may need to Warp them significantly for a better fit. Or feel free to omit these details if you'd like.
