Although the example is nice, I'm more interested in the technique.
I've tried `to do it with 2 layers, but it turned out rather flat
without any shades. Can someone point me in the right direction?
TX!
I think I got this!
Step by step procedure that I ran through (you will need a leopard pattern):
1) Find a picture of an elephant where you can easily crop the rest of the image to have a full elephant. Call the image layer I.
I is the image itself. Uncropped.
2) Duplicate the image layer I to obtain another layer L, so that you have I and L (identical) layers.
3) On L, select out the elephant (requires some work).
Selecting means removing everything except the elephant (its tusk too).
4) Duplicate L and call the new duplicated layer D.
5) On D, select "keep transparency" and fill the whole elephant with a leopard pattern. There is a "default" leopard pattern in 2.2.11 Windows version.
6) Duplicate L again and call the new layer as S. Desaturate (Layer -> Colors -> Desaturate) the layer S.
7) Bumpmap D using S as a background. Try to avoid shadows (select Azimuth: 180, Elevation: 85 or 80, Depth: tune yourself). (compensate for darkening selected).
Use "spherical" option in this step as well. This step makes the pattern non-uniform and depend on original Elephant's shading.
8) Move D over the image layer I. delete (or turn off) layers L and S.
9) Select Blending mode as "Overlay" for D over I. It is approximately the same as the image shown.
It means "the effect achieved"
