This Premium Tutorial is Filled with Creative Tips

Mythical creatures have been part of legend and folklore since the dawn of time. These imaginary creatures are often hybrids, or a combination of two or more animals such as a centaur (human and horse) or a minotaur (human and bull). In this tutorial we’ll take inspiration from these fantastical creatures and transform a portrait into a terrifying horned beast. You’ll discover how to blend animal and human anatomy, then add convincing skin textures to really pull off the effect.

A preview of the final image is below.

    Help I downloaded the tutorial in the plus area, but none of the image links worked. Something about unable to find path . . . I unzipped, extracted, etc. Deleted initial download and retried from the temp file, still nothing. What am I doing wrong, I have
    Vista if that means anything.
