i do have pictures of parrots, but the only one that was in a complimentary position was a blue-green maccaw chick which hadn't yet started growing feathers. i don't think that would have looked very piraty to have a nekkid bird on his arm.

rpgspotkahn:

i used adobe photoshop 7.0. mostly i just dragged and dropped bits of costume from other pictures, erased their backgrounds (erasing produces better results than the select tool), free transformed them, skewed them, then hue/saturation adjusted them. the hat, leather sash, and the beach were also clone stamped to extend their lengths. the boots also got despeckled... twice (because that's how horrible the original pictures were). to make his shirt darker, i colored it with a brush at 56% on a layer set to linear dodge. i used the dodge tool on the blue sash and the burn tool here and there before flattening it. that fake looking shadow at his feet was the burn tool.

btw, trivia- i left moogle's shoes intact. well, except for darkening the tops so they blend seamlessly with the boot tops. the bandana he was wearing came in handy for choosing where the hat stops. that same beach is in the malacat picture. and i was also thinking of giving him a 5 o'clock shadow... but thought that might make him a little less recognizable.
