Cool cut outs bud. What program did you use? good job cutting out the fur.
I found some lion heads that were already cut out by searching for "lion png". I was gong to cut some out, but thought I would see if I can find some already done.
However, your comment has made me want to be able to do it myself, so I looked into how to do it in Affinity Photo, and it handles it really well. Here's a quick tutorial I used to find out how best to do it... https://forum.affinity.serif.com/in...tting-out-hair/&do=findComment&comment=385184
Here's the new head I cut out using that technique, which I only spent about 2 minutes doing (I could get it even better if I spent some more time on it)...

Here's the original image I extracted the head from...

I didn't realize Affinity could do it that easily, so it's going to be fun to cut out some other things in the future.

Nice, very similar to PS which is now great for cutting out hair and fur. There is some good contrast in that image too for cutting out the hair. You can use refine edge in PS to get it pretty accurate.

I wonder what Affinity Pro is like when cutting out hair with noisy backgrounds as I'm not sure it is better than PS yet but I hear good things.

It's definitely better than I was expecting. I'll let you know what it's like if/when I try to cut out something difficult.
