A few years ago (and then some) I saw an image of a wolf (I think), or perhaps an eagle, which was a beautiful portrait of the subject, but when you looked closely it was made up of other small images. I don't think it was a mosaic, but I could be wrong.
Does anyone know what this type of art is called, or have an example of it?

I did this back on the EV forum days. If so, this is the tutorial I used. Fill A Photo With More Photos In Photoshop

These tutorials allow you to scale the size of the images, change the blending mode, reduce opacity/contrast. The images are defined/applied as a pattern.
