hmm are you trying to crop also? If so there is a little do in the middle of your transformation. That dot is like a hinge. Where every you place it ( you can move it around) your rotation will be based from that point.
I know you did Bear, and I tried to do it, but I was trying to do it on the original and it kept on saying it was partially locked, so I did something somewhere to it and I dont 't know what. I knew you would see this and roll your eyeballs LOL
