DISCLAIMER: THE TEXTURES DO NOT BELONG TO ME

ALRIGHT! LET'S START!
AS ALWAYS, PREPARE YOUR CANVAS

PLACE THE GD IMAGES INTO THE CANVAS.

START BLENDING THEM WITH THIS TECHNIQUE IF YOU'VE ALREADY FORGOTTEN HOW. 

P.S. YOU CAN ALWAYS USE AN ERASER. BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT AS IT WOULD DELETE SOME IMPORTANT PART WHILE ERASING AND YOU'LL HAVE TO CLICK UNDO EVERYTIME YOU TRY TO BRING IT BACK.

THE VECTOR MASK WILL HELP YOU A LOT IN BLENDING. TRY EXPERIMENTING WITH IT.

NOTE: THE BLACK HIDES THE IMAGES, THE WHITE REVEALS THE IMAGES.

CHOOSE THE SIZE OF YOUR BRUSH AND START BLENDING THE IMAGES, REMEMBER TO DO IT WITH THE VECTOR MASK AS YOUR SELECTION AND NOT THE ORIGINAL IMAGE.

(IF YOU CAN'T SEE THE WINDOW, DRAG THE PICTURE BELOW TO A NEW TAB TO SEE THE IMAGE IN THE ORIGNAL SIZE)

YOU CAN EVEN ADJUST THE BRUSH OPACITY TO DO YOUR BLENDING, I WON'T TRY USING 100%. JUST A NOTE.

YOU SHOULD BLEND THE CHARACTERS IMAGE LOOKING LIKE THIS. THE GD IMAGE BEHIND THE OTHER DOESN'T REALLY NEED BLENDINGS.

YELLOW: THE VECTOR MASK LAYER SHOULD LOOK LIKE THAT.

BLUE: YOU CAN ALWAYS USE THE ERASER.

I LIKE TO DO THIS TO MOST OF GRAPHICS, BY REDUCING THE NOISE IN THE IMAGES. 

RED: CLICK TO FILTER AND NOICE, THEN REDUCE NOISE.
