I bought a little dragon last year and he sits at my computer. I decided to photograph him and tweek him in Photoshop. I sharpened the photo with creating a copy and went into filters and chose - other -high pass and adjusted the sharpness. It goes grey and as you slide it more information is added. I then chose - hard light- in layers and then chose both layers and merged them. Then back to filters and chose artist- cut out and adjusted the 3 ranges until I liked it. I then painted in the eye and highlight. Comment below if you like it or if you are not sure I could do a tutorial on my method. Cheers.
