He then digitally superimposed a human skeleton over the beast's remains.The later addition of a digging man presented the biggest technical challenge."If you look, he's holding a yellow-handled shovel, but there's nothing on the end," IronKite said."Originally, the spade end was there. But [it] looked like it was occupying the exact same space as the skeleton's temple, making the whole thing look fake."Now it looks like he's just holding a stick, and people don't notice. It's funny."IronKite also altered the color of the man's clothing to create a "uniform tie-in" with the white-shirted observer peering down from the wooden platform.The two figures work to exaggerate the scale of the skeleton, he added.</blockquote>
