well i guess i could work on it, though im not sure how much work im going to put in it yet

 

[gqmartin]

alright thanks
doesn't have to be worked on for too long i think
the longhorn head should stand out obviously

 

[thedirtyknapkin]

ok well these images are incredibly difficult to merge together in a realistic fashion, and you won't get that unless you pay, and due to the difficulty of what you're asking you would probably have to pay a lot

but here's what i could do in 10 minutes



the reason they're so difficult to put together like this is because they are so drastically different. one is an image of a smooth plastic cow, taken with a point and shoot.

the other is a well made painting, with very particular lighting, and texture.

they just don't combine well

LOL it's supposed to look off because the head stands out
it looks awesome
thanks
