Step 1
Create a new canvas with the dimensions Width=1859px and Height=3860.
Step 2
Import the image of the Woman on to the canvas and create a mask around her body. Select the mask around the hair very roughly as shown. Then separate the selection into a new layer.

Step 3
In this step we are going to us the Refine Edge Tool to mask out the hair of the women with every detail.- Select the mask around the woman as shown using the Magic Wand Tool (W).



Step 4
In this step we are going to color correct the image of the women.- With the women layer selected go to Image>Adjustments>Curves and set the Red and Blue curves as shown.



Step 5
In this step we are going to create a tree bark in such a way to illustrate the women evolving from it.- Import the image of the Bonsai Bark and mask out the bark into a new layer using the Lasso Tool (L).



Step 6
Since the woman is evolving from the bark we must show the semi evolution effect at the point of evolution. -Create the shadow line of the leg on to the bark as shown. This creates an illusion of the fold on the bark that is caused during the evolution of the women.

Step 7
Now we need to color correct the bark in-order to blend with the women. 1) Merge the entire bark layer and go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation and de-saturate the image to -58.

Step 8
Fantasy scenes are never without a mystical object in the hands of the main character, hence in this step we are going to create a uniquely looking fire torch in the left hand of the women. 1) Erase the small knife that the woman is originally holding using the Eraser Tool (E).

These look fantastic! Thanks for bringing them together – what a great collection
Nice tutorial, but the writer doesn't seem to know the difference between the singular "woman" and the plural "women." VERY annoying.
