Freak of Nature

For this project, we had to take at least two different animals, and, using the editing app Pixlr, merge them together to create a new creature that is hopefully bizarre and literally out of this world. I present, the Seaphant.

(His name is Fred)

I chose the elephant and the seahorse because they are two of my favorite animals, and I thought that an elephant head would look quite fitting on a seahorse's body. 

The most challenging part of this fun project was probably the erasing of the background around the elephants head, because I, being the very particular person I am when it comes to such things, was trying to be very precise and was getting a little frustrated when it wasn't. 

I think my creation could be realistic in some sci-fi universe that I have not yet heard about (but should totally create), because look at it! Wouldn't that be one of the best little creatures you have never seen and immediately fall in love with when you did? I know I would be fangirling over it as soon as I seen it, and that is totally not a biased statement at all. 

Totally not.

This is my first time using a photo editing software to edit pictures together and make new things. Usually I use the kind of photo editing software used to make a picture more appealing, but I would definitely use this again because it was fun, and doing fun things is fun and who doesn't love fun? 

I'm being repetitive to prove a point. 

This was probably one of the best assignments we have done so far, and for those of you who have never had the urge to, or never thought about doing something like this, when you're bored or looking for something entertaining to do, do it! I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed. And if you are, we can just pretend that I didn't say that. It's not a hard thing to do.
