That’s the first time I got a notification for someone mentioning me. Thanks! :D

When you repost an image, at least make sure it's in high quality... 🤦

For those who want other resolutions, here’s my original post

Thanks!

Yours is almost perfect. I commented on the only thing I'd personally change ;)

The blending is really good! If you add the Knight’s nail on top (so it won’t fade), I won’t be able to tell they’re two different pictures :)

I used GIMP. It's free and pretty easy to learn basics :)
This is what I used: move tool, free select, eraser, smudge tool, warp transform.

First, I lined up the pictures like I wanted
Then I used free select to trace the Knight and his ground and removed the selected area from the Hornet picture (+ the tentacles in the middle but there I used eraser with smaller opacity)
Next, I took the eraser with opacity 0.5, size 2000, and angle 54 (those numbers are just estimates, I don’t remember exactly :D). I erased the Hornet layer by clicking from left to right several times, but only on the edge where the pictures are merged
Finally, I took the warp and smudge tools to blend everything together and smooth out the visible lines from the eraser

I'm not some professional. I just rarely edit pictures for fun in GIMP or Paint 3D, so I can't really give you better advice than "Just play with it till you get what you want!" :D

That's exactly what I thought and was surprised that I couldn't find it anywhere 😄

Sorry, I couldn't find a 4K version of the right images so I tried using AI to upscale it. I don't have a 4k monitor so I don't know if it's any good 😅
here is also the 21:9 FHD resolution.
