HYBRID ANIMALS butterphant

For  my hybrid project i used three different animals. The amimals were a butterfly for the ears, snake skin for the body, and lizzards eye for the eyes. This project was very easy it just took time to make the image look and seem real.

I think the strongest part of my visual is combining the three animals together. The elephant ears was such a good idea for a butterfly wing because the shape fit so perfectly. I think I did an amazing job on the blending of the snake skin and the ears. That is the most important part in the process because if you don’t blend and don’t use the layer mask it would look like you photo shopped. I also liked how I changed the eyes of the elephant because its eyes looked old and tiny. So I improved it and changed it to lizard eyes. I changed the blend modes of the eyes and butterfly so it doesn’t look original. The tools I used in this project was mainly the stamp and the layer mask. The layer mask is always so useful when you want to draw over something. It is less work than painting because you just erase whatever you don’t need. I used the stamp on the other hand because the size. I didn’t want to stretch the image out so I lowered the picture then stamped the sky and shaded in the white area to make more sky. This whole activity was kind of easy to me. I don’t think there was a difficult part to this activity. If I could do this activity again I would change the animals. I would rate my effort on this a 10 because I used the tools correctly and tried to make it realistic.
