Realistic Embryo-Lorikeet Artwork

I have a photo of our IVF embryo and a reference image of a Rainbow Lorikeet, both of which carry deep meaning for my wife. I want them artistically merged into one, realistic composition that I can send to a lab for an acrylic print sized for a shelf display.

Here’s what I need from you:
• A high-resolution digital artwork (minimum 450 dpi at 8×10 in, layered PSD or TIFF + flattened PNG/JPEG) ready for direct acrylic printing.
• Colour treatment that stays true to the bright blues, greens, yellows and oranges found on a Rainbow Lorikeet while keeping the embryo photo clear and scientifically accurate.
• A balanced layout that feels organic rather than overtly collaged—think subtle lighting, natural shadows and gentle depth so the two subjects feel unified.
• One round of minor revisions once I see the first proof.

I’ll supply the embryo micrograph and my chosen bird reference as soon as we start. Please let me know how you plan to approach blending the two images and which software—Photoshop, Procreate, Illustrator or similar—you prefer. Looking forward to seeing your creative vision bring this very personal piece to life.
