Repeat with the other eye. And then merge the two eye layers together.

Select the Manipulated Layer and turn the Pupils Layer off

image 10

Filter>Liquify. Uncheck "Show Backdrop" and adjust to the settings show below. The Brush Size should have a similar size relation to the eye as what I have. Select the Bloat Tool and slightly bloat the eye so that the bottom half is a little fuller, trying not to affect the upper lid.

You should now have the Original image, a Non-Blue Manipulated image, and the final Manipulated image with the blue skin. I renamed the newly merged Layers to manipulatedBlue.

Still on the manipulatedBlue layer, erase the Pupil and the part of the eye ball that is in the outer corners with a Soft Round Brush. Leave the inner corner blue.

Make a New Layer, using the Paint Brush tool Angelina Jolie as a Na'vi from Avatar Movie 19 and the color # fddc00, paint the Pupil yellow.

image 20

Change the Layer's Blending Mode to Overlay

image 21

image 22

Repeat for the other eye. I lowered the opacity of the yellow layer so that it isn't so saturated. Adjust the layer as you see fit.

image 23

image 24

Duplicate "manipulated" layer, and merge with manipulatedBlue and yellow Layers.

image 25

I outlined the eyes, crease, and Iris a bit with the Paint Brush (using black color) so they looked more defined.

Lips

Select the Burn tool Angelina Jolie as a Na'vi from Avatar Movie 50 and slightly burn the side of the nose upwards to appear more cat-like

I also used the Clone tool with Opacity set to 10% and lightened the bottom of the nose a bit by selecting the area of skin right below the nose, and stroking along the dark areas.

Select the Burn tool Angelina Jolie as a Na'vi from Avatar Movie 53 once again and change the setting that shown below. The dark streak on the nose is always right below the pointiest part of the tip.

Carefully erase around the outsides of the nose so there are more speckles towards the front of the nose.
