Adobe Photoshop - Lava Creature

The aim of this lesson was to take the image below of a sculpted rock monster by artist Andrew Martin and edit/paintover it to create a lava creature from it.

 I really enjoyed this process and felt the need to create a suitable environment for it as well. I got to practice the use of images within my work again and I feel like i'm slowly getting the hang of both environments and the manipulation of photos. The image as it stands requires some more work to the lava and background but I felt i should still submit it as it is and update when I have finished,
