Animal hybrid artist reflection

                                                                            Artist Reflection


The strongest aspect of my work is the head because it looks like it is supposed to be there. This aspect looks the most normal on the turtle because I positioned it correctly and added fur to a little bit of the shell to make it look natural. The aspect of my work that can be improved upon is the feet because they aren't as natural looking with the fur. I could improve upon this aspect by having more of the claws show and trying to get the shape to look more like the turtle.

The easy part of this activity was using the stamp tool because all you had to do was option click and then you could paint the fur wherever you wanted. The stamp tool made it easy to use the bunnies fur on the rest of the turtle to make the bunny and turtle combination more natural.  The hard part of this activity was choosing the animals because it was difficult to find animals that would blend well with your other animals. It was then hard to take the animals and make one natural looking animal. I used the head and fur of a bunny, the body of a turtle, and the tail and eye of a yellow lab.

I demonstrated the objective in this activity by using the stamp and healing brush tools to make a realistic looking hybrid. I used the stamp tool to copy the bunny fur onto the turtle. I also used the stamp tool to stamp the eye of the yellow lab onto the bunnies face. Finally, i used the stamp tool to fix where I had to erase the turtles head. The stamp tool allowed me to make the background like I never erased anything. I used the healing brush tool to copy certain pieces of the animals body that I wanted to use because I only had to choose a certain part and then paint where i wanted that to go. If I could do this activity again I would try to make the feet look more natural and more of a combination between turtle and bunny.
