I will definitely look into that!
Usually I don't just finish here. I use curves, levels, and other things to adjust the wolf into the background better.

But I will look for something like the shadows/highlights thing and try that out. I'm still learning!

At least you tried! I tried photoshop maybe 2 years after GIMP and had the same reaction as you. They're just so different from one another. xD Perhaps one day. Photoshop has a lot of things GIMP doesn't, so I'd love to really work with it.

Don't forget to be careful where you lighten the wolf.
Also, black fur has a slight bluish purplish tint to it. It isn't completely black and dark. I suggest using a few pictures of black wolves for reference.
But of course, this is just a rough outline of what you do in your manipulations.

Glad I could be of assistance!
Don't mention it. I know how hard it is to collect the little buggers!
Too bad you only do trades with friends.

I've tried that and it doesn't work with black. Not in GIMP anyway.

So this is how to turn a picture of a wolf from google images into a smudgy hard-to-see picture of a wolf after subjecting it to fire

Obviously you didn't read the credits. The wolf is from a stock provider here on dA.

In what situation would this ever be useful?

tahbikat In reply to arvalis [2012-03-21 01:15:08 +0000 UTC]

Well, for instance, if someone requests or commissions me to do a black wolf in a certain pose. There aren't many black wolf stock photos out there, so this would be the next best thing.
