Description
Turning the beautiful miss tabby into a cat.Playing with more stuff in photoshop, I'm gonna redo it later so it looks better, but I wasn't sure how to do it, so this was more of a test to figure things out.

Lol do you realize how odd it is to get bored and search your name and find this. I forgot all about this.

yeah, the nose and whiskers are perfect. i wish i knew how to do that. is there a tutorial you used for them? the ears are nicely blended in. the eyes it looks like you changed the color but didn't take the iris back to black. other than that tiny nit picky thing it is a great morph, especially for a test. i can't wait to see what you do when you're full out trying for a finished piece WOW

Thanks
I was mostly looking at similar morphs here on deviant art, and doing my own thing to recreate similar effects.
Been a good while, but the whiskers where from a brush set, just scaled them all slightly different. Then for the dots where the whiskers connect to the face, I change the layer style, forgot what to, I think it was overlay, set transparency down a bit.
Nose wasn't to different. I slightly morphed it bit at a time to get the shape (I prefer to do a small part, ok the morph, then do the next bit). To get the pink color, while keeping all the texture and shading of the original nose, I made a new layer, and used the brush tool to make a solid pink block around the entire area of the nose. Changed transparency so I could see both layers, then layer masked around the areas I didn't need pink, using a fuzzier brush towards the top of it. After that was done, I set the layer type to overlay(I think it was overlay, just mess around until it blends in with the nose.
Blending bridge of the nose into the rest of the face to give it the flatter appearance, I believe I used the bandaid tool to remove the darkest edges of it, possibly blurred/smudged to blend things a bit, then went over it with the dodge(also dodged above the lips) to give the lighter color effect.
Obviously, I made the eyes bigger, I copied both of em onto a new layer, then scaled them then used layer masking along with a few other small things to blend the layers together. On top of that was another layer, similar to the nose. A solid block of green, layer masked out the white area of the eye. I think I was lazy, and left the iris tinted, since it didn't effect it to much. Hard to tell, but I also had a third layer on top of that giving that slightly darker green ring around the eye.
