Styles of Photomorph

Photomorphs may be made in a variety of ways and using different techniques that result in distinct visual styles. The main approaches to photomorphing are...

Paintover

Drawing and painting over top of the subject(s), using the photo for pose, angle, and lighting. Paintover morphs often retain a photo background, and in some cases, the artist may choose to keep the clothes from the photograph.

"Head Swap and Body Paint"

Painting fur/scale textures and markings onto a human body. Sometimes adding a tail or pasting and blending an anthro character's head over the original subject's head to fit with the altered body

"Frankenstein" Photoshopping

post #216688 post #1935722 post #41653 post #413386

Combining and blending parts from photos of animals together with the original photo of a human to create a photorealistic anthro. This may involve using photographed fur/scale textures and morphing them to match the contours of the human body, adding parts of animal anatomy to the human body, sometimes adding parts of the human face to an animal head.
