Here is the work progression on the Grassman for the
Dead Man Ohio cover. Most of the detail work that went into it was lost once I covered over to the cartoon look, so this way you can see what I did. These are all screencaps that I was sending to T.M. so she could see the work I was doing. If you have any questions about what I did, feel free to ask in the comments.

| 1. This is the original picture I took of my husband in our office. The background has been removed and is on a transparent layer. |
 |
| 2. Using the hair brushes, I layered from the bottom up using a two-tone color to created the body fur. I thickened his eyebrows, added long hair (same brush, just larger size), and added a beard. I went back in with some lighter and darker colors to give some depth. |
 |
| 3. Using the skin wrinkly brushes, I added lines to the face to give it a more leathery, aged appearance. |
 |
| 4. I fixed his eye, sharpened the teeth, and covered over his metal cap on the bottom back molar. I also a soft round brush and blackened in around the eyes, then set the opacity very low to give it a shadowed look. |
 |
| 5. The lengthened the teeth some more and darkened the skin in. I also added the skin wrinkles to the hands and drew longer fingernails. |
