I duplicated the original,isolated the moose, distorted and transformed a la fashion mag (selected the legs and transformed, selected the head and transformed, selected the legs again and distorted, pulled it into liquefy filter for some squidges here and there. Added a warming filter to just the moose. Clone stamped the background clean. Total time was about 30 minutes.

In honor of the upcoming Holiday, (my favorite).
For this image I used GIMP. First, I selected the moose from the back legs forward. I then copied and pasted them onto a new "Blank" image at the same size as the original. Then I rotated the form until I was satisfied with the angle. Next I went back to the original and selected the hind legs. I copied these onto the new image and moved the layer into position. I then selected the forlegs from the knees down and rotated them into position. Once I was satisfied with the rearing moose, I blacked the image by adjusting the contrast. Once the image was black, I painted in the horseman in black (freehand). I then selected the black with the "Magic wand" selection tool. Then bucket fill with yellow. I then changed the white background to transparent using the color to alpha tool. Next, I went online to find a nice pumpkin picture to paste my image onto. Once the image was pasted, I used the same color of yellow to hand paint the lettering. This was alot of fun.
