Lava Creature

For this exercise  we were given the image of a rock monster, and was then required to edit it by adding lava so the picture using primarily the effects layers on Photoshop. Initially I found it a little difficult to get the effect I wanted in terms of appearance, however after some experimentation and trial and error I managed to get a reasonably believable lava effect. However, were I to do this exercise again I would probably try to make the image look a little cleaner, for example with the lava on the ground, and make the face look a little more distinct as currently I feel that it's a little difficult to read.
