Toturial Image

The steps of how to do this effect are writtian into the image, but just in case it doesn't load correctly or clearly, I have them listed below as well.

Tutorial on how the above image was made

Step One: Move Image/Images from one source to a new background (In this case I used two hand drawn
characters from two differant sources and put them onto Adobe's DUNE image)

Step Two: Do your absolute best to make the imported images fit the background (In size/scale/lightsource/
texture/etc)

Step Three: Make a layer copy of the imported images and change it to black.

Step Four: Move the shadow using the perspective tool so that it fits the first angle (in this case, the top of
the dune)

Step Five:  Use the Polygonal lasso tool and select the 'shadow' laye along the edge where the angle changes
                       (in this case, the 'falling' side of the dune). Use the perspective transform again to move the
                       shadow to follow this new angle. Repeat step five for all multi angles.

Step Six:   Fade the opacity to about 60-40, use guassion blur at about 25 to soften the edges, then use a soft
                       edge erase tool (I'd sugget on set at about 100-200 to take out (And fade out) the 'top' of the
                       shadow.
