I repeated those last steps for cables 2 to 7 and chose different colors for each of them. After that I arranged the order of the layers to my liking and placed some shadows here and there for depth (image 28). Then I selected the spine and some of the hair that would cover one of the cables from the original Catherine image and copied that into a new layer above the layer to be covered by the hair. I did some masking to reveal the cable and then set work on making bulges (clone-tool) and holes (burn-tool) on the spine, were the cable would enter the flesh (image 29). The bulges could also have been achieved with the Liquid-filter or some airbrushing of course.Now to cover the lower end of the cables. I selected part of the dress from the original image, copied that into a new layer and placed it above the cable layers. Then masked away the flesh to have the cables appear going into the dress (image 30). Finally I duplicated the image (image > duplicate > activate Duplicate Merged Layers Only) and did some more blurring, highlighting, shadowing, cloning, a bit of noise and gaussian blur etc.
