Hybrid Animal

          The strongest aspect of my work was how i managed to fit the tiger's head smoothly on to the finch's body. I think that the colors are very close to being identical, so the tiger's head does not look like it was sloppily edited on to the bird. An aspect of my work that could be improved on is the pattern on the bird's wing. I wanted to make a tiger pattern on the wings. It worked, but not as smooth or realistic as I had imagined. I think that i could have used a different picture to get the tiger print from. I got the print form a tiger's head so I can understand why it may not fit the bird's wing. 

          The easy part about this activity was picking two animas to combine. This was easy, I think, because there are endless combinations of which animals to combine. So, even if you randomly picked two animals, there could be a way to combine them. So, I thought that since finches are yellow and tigers wouldn't look very odd being yellow, I chose a tiger and finch. I think what was difficult about this activity was combining the animals to look like they actually belong together. Or else, it would look unrealistic and not well done. So, getting the colors correct and blending certain parts to fit the bird were difficult. 

          I demonstrated the objective in this activity by smoothly blending the tiger's head on to the finch. I think I did a good job in making the tiger head appear realistic on the finch's head. I combined the two animals also by putting a tiger print on the finch's wing which added another element of combination. If i could do this activity again, I would choose different animals in which I could incorporate more elements of each animal into one animal. Also, I think that if I used different animals, it would be a fun experience.
