People have been mixing species via Photoshop since its early existence! It's one of those classic Photoshop contests from the mid-2000s.
We've had many such contests on Pxleyes, here is an example from 3 years ago: Animal mashup 2018Which was won by user 'skyangel', with the following entry:
Let's keep this almost cliche type of photoshopping alive! Both software and hardware have evolved drastically over the years, and the possibilities of mixing species, are endless.
Your goal is to mix two or more species of animal into 1. This is your chance to play God and craft your own ultimate animal! What are its strengths? Weaknesses? How does it survive? Where does it live? Write a little story around your creation if you wish. At a minimum, think of a great name for your species. It's your creation, you can name it!
List your sources in a reply to your entry. You can make links clickable by placing them within square brackets.
Don't forget to vote and give feedback to other entries, so we can support each other. Let the most creative new animal win!
Good luck!

Job very well done. Please add dog ears to enhance this.
Thanks a lot for your comment. But is my face with my Rottweiler Hucky.
I agree, dog ears would improve this
No, I don't think dog ears would work simply because it would drown out the "human" completely. The way this was done is very tastefully a great blend and reminds me of my boss who sounded like a dog most all the time. Thumbs up.
Well it has a hat🙂
Very well done, Hucky-Claudio! ;-))
Animal mash-up... it makes sense, you're a human animal after all. Well done 😊
Well said, Z !! And it's a very good entry! :-)
this is extremely creepy
I think the hat contributes a lot to that creepiness
Nice work
looks bit fake in neck
Is this creature the offspring of a canine and Homosapien? I know many people love dogs but....???? I better not go into the kind of relationships we should refrain from in case I offend some lovers. ( All in good humor.) :-) Anyway, does this unusual but friendly-looking Homocanine have a name? Huclaudiky ? Weilyman? What language does it speak? I am always interested in how to communicate with canines but it would be even more interesting if this creature can speak both canine and human since it would easily be able to interpret between its parent species. https://www.theawl.com/2011/11/how-to-talk-to-your-dog/
Rhinoturtle or rhinotortoise
It looks like this creature is forced by nature to stay close to the ground. I imagine it would be very heavy and slow-moving so is not a threat to humans at all. ;-)
This is fantastic work
I can see by the markings that this is the offspring of a zebra and a camel.. Is it called a Zebramel or a Camelbra? You did a fantastic job of changing the skin texture and making the pattern fit. It looks very realistic.

I love the extra touch with the flies, hahah
lol, the smell attracted them..
Is this a Verbalass? I have heard that they exist but have never seen one in reality. Is this creature giving some testimony in a court of law or is he on trial for something? I wonder what he is talking about and what language he speaks?
lol, those creatures could be everywhere..
Thank you for stopping by..

My vote is for the given sources! : an excellent habit that should be imposed!!
Thanks to you Wizard.
yeah!
I agree, other people not posting sources,.... it is required???
so far: no, it's not required ;-)
But showing all images we worked with is showing our WORK, our PS skills...
Friendly yours,
Merlin
This creature is also a verb ^_^
This creature looks like it is wondering what you are doing in its territory taking photos of it. Were you in a diving cage at the time so that no unusual creatures could harm you or were you just in the open ocean with your camera? Is the creature dangerous to humans? I need to know in case I ever see one when I am swimming. Should I leave the water immediately or is it safe to stay near this creature? ;-)
Skyangel, the creature came to me for a cuddle (or at least that's what I thought). I didn't stop purring, the noise was like if my scuba tank had a bug.
I'm a little disturbed
Nicely done!
This animal obviously did not want to hear whatever you were saying to it. Therefore it must be very independent and maybe even untrainable if it won't to listen to commands? Can it talk back at all or does it simply ignore any attempts at communication? Is it called a Dogape or an Apedoggy or maybe it has another unusual name?
Pushes the lion straight off the throne to get the King of the Jungle title
What is this unusual creature called? Did you photograph him in the wild or did you find this creature at a zoo? What can you tell me about it?
What is the name of this creature?
Flygoo they say !
https://imgur.com/a/J7AHr6C
ha
Thanks haha
It seems flygoos are very tiny and like to hover around flowers. Was it trying to hide and you managed to sneak around to the side it was hiding on to take its photo? They must hide well since I have never seen one in real life but they must really exist since here in Australia they have an airline with a flying kangaroo logo on its tail. ;-)
Down under, any creature is possible haha
I agree, The most unusual ones are generally found in any city or town that has a photoshop. ;-)
Butterzebras

I wouldve called them butterzebras
Good idea! Thanks, I change my title.
They are so cute, I want them in my garden!
Thanks Raw! first you must find the right caterpillars 😋
I like this one
Cute!!!! Nice work and idea
WOW this took my breath away. Lovely.
🥰
They are very cute little creatures. Do they make any noises or are they the silent type? Are these the culprits that have been eating the dandelions on my lawn before they go to seed?
They make tiny little noises, if you can imagine a micro-zebra's voice you got the picture. Or the song. About your dandelions it was me!!! and I made a kind of jam we call Cramaillotte here. Scrumptious, your dandelions are first quality.
Here is the recipe: https://www.leparfait.com/recipe/cramaillotte-or-dandelion-honey_736#page/1
Welcome to the site!
Please set your username via the top menu
You didn't give it a name yet ;p
Is it a rainbow huminkeet from the land of dreams? I suspect it might have shapeshifting abilities? Very artistic.
Interesting approach, do you have a higher resolution version of this picture? It's hard to judge now
This an old creation of mine (2009) is in a low resolution only unfortunately meg.(800x600)
I wanted to welcome you already in you but i didn't know where let me write.
Old PXLEYES onto friend I found my big joy.
I welcome you in you: filantrop
She is a very scary alien creature with a snake morphing out of her face. I would not like to encounter her in a dark alley. Does she speak a human language or parceltongue or maybe both? What planet is she from?

I made this on PSC, thought I'd post it here. These are the sources https://postimg.cc/gallery/PYV92MK and this was the original PSC contest http://photoshopcontest.com/photoshop-contest/1003783/koi-fish.html?l=&o=votes
Hey Papchap, good to see you here! I didn't remember this chop, it is very well done!!!
why am I allowed to vote for myself?
Papchap, here you can make all suggestions you wish to the owner of the site, and I promise you, you'll get a reply. This place is still a bit experimental and Staaan (Frank) is willing to improve it with everybody's little help. Voting for oneself is rather strange indeed and I have already mentioned it 😊. Don'k know if you are on Discord but it seems to be a good way to chat about the site, Frank's name there is ecky--ptang-zooboing
Oh, thanks! I didn't know you were on discord? I tried to start a photoshop contesting server there, it didn't work. can you send me an invite link to Frank's server?
Papchap, it is me who sent the message yesterday with the PSC forum 😂
Are you on Discord? it is all new to me and I don't know how to communicate Frank's server.
If you are on Discord, you can find me too, my name is Zizounaï !!!
I'm #2661 apparently
yes the number is important 😂
I know! I'm on grepless because of you! but I didn't know you were on discord :D
Ah ok I got confused 🙃 sorry
Here it is https://discord.com/invite/8fAADe62DE
ecky--ptang-zooboing?
Well, I joined discord but everything is blank for me....I didn't see any conversations, I didn't see any friends so I must have done something wrong. will try again.
Olga, it is not clear to me either. Staaan asked me to register for a chat last week, then he kind of guided me to the right places to go. You should ask him or Papchap who also seems to be familiar with it. Maybe we can meet there too 😉
I will see you on email, it seems to be the only thing I understand..?.most times.
I can see you in the member list there Olga, so you signed up correctly. Just look for my username or q channel called #grepless
Ouch.........
Is it a backpacking fisherell or a squish? What do you call this unusual creature? Where it is heading with the back pack? Is it going on a holiday or does it just store food in there? What does it eat and what kind of noise does it make?
Such a cute little traveler, with his backpack and all !
:) thanks so much, this seems like a much nicer community then PSC right now
Backpack could be better, looks a bit off
But funny still
Thanks csgo
d'ya reckon the strap's too wide?

This is the first time I have ever seen a kittychick in a garden of tulips. Tell me about the cute little creature. Where does it live and what does it eat and what kind of noise does it make?

Oôôôôô Ernest! so good to see you here, you make my day! I missed so much your wonderful chops. You make me laugh and you make me dream. Let's make this place like a better Pxleyes!!! Smooootch 😘
The Dino Rino looks like he is all dressed for some kind of sport. I would suspect a running race? Maybe I have got the story all wrong? If I have, you will need to enlighten me to the reason he is wearing shoes? Did he just want to see what it was like to walk in the shoes of a human? ;-) It could inspire all kinds of wonderful stories.
You should make a docu series on NGC ☺
What's NGC?

Hi there. It's good to see your work again. Are those blue antennas for sensing any alien predators or for something else? I suspect his hearing and sight would be excellent. He can obviously see something yummy to eat in the distance since he is licking his chops in anticipation of a great meal. Hopefully, he is not going to eat one of the creatures displayed on this site? ;-)
His name is DERPDEER!
Nice work
A Crabby Reptifowline. They are a rare species found on beaches when the tide is coming in around sunset. You need to be in the right place at the right time to see them, otherwise you will never know they exist. They are extremely shy and very crabby. All sources are from pixabay. https://imgur.com/gallery/KEUhXx3
What a strange creature! difficult to imagine its size, how big would a human be near it? Looks grumpy, if it is really large I'd not feel safe if I saw one. Do they live in Australia?
They come in various sizes but I have never come across one larger than a person. Mostly they are about the size of a large duck. Maybe because they have duck genes. You can tell by the webbed feet. They are not known to be native to any country because they are so rare but they have been spotted on a few of the uninhabited islands on Earth, mainly by explorers who have made it their profession to find unusual creatures. The average person would most likely never see one unless they went on a special trip with a professional explorer. ;-)
He's so ugly yet so cute!!!
Thank you. They are very cute creatures when they are not in a crabby mood and making angry faces. They just hate being photographed or disturbed in any way. They are prone to hide under rocks. ;-)
The champ is here defending her title. :D
Hahaha.... Crabby Reptifowline has not won any titles yet. It's her first appearance any place. She doesn't generally show her face. ;-) Thanks for your comment, Ray.
Ahh the mysterious Queen of Photoshop. :D
Says the King who always gives me a run for my money. :-) It's good to see you again.
Hahaha. Howdy doo!! ***HUGS!!***
He is a cutey. What kind of noise does this creature make? Can it jump like a frog or can it only walk like a hippo?
Cruisin'

Hybrid is made from a whale, iguana, and a manta ray. Click image to see hi-res. It looks a lot better.
May I name it a Whaliganaray? It is obviously a recent find of an unknown prehistoric creature that has the ability to float through clouds in spite of its huge size. The hunter is obviously prepared to protect himself in case of any emergency but I hope he makes sure he has all the correct scientific data needed to record such a historical find. I hope the creature is not a man eater? Great chop. !
Hi SA!! Is there anyway to personal message on this site? I wanna talk to you. It was not my intention to make the creature ferocious but he can be w/e you like. I did put a shark mouth on him at one point to make him look mean but I liked the peaceful look. Like he is just cruising. Where is he going? I don't know. The guy... I reckon he is just watching. He is part of the kingdom of humans that live in the realm of the creature. Boy I am terrible at describing things haha. I should probably just shut up and let people interpret it on their own.
I don't see any way to do PM on this site but I am on facebook and they have PM. Are you on facebook? https://www.facebook.com/angelica.glen.5/
No I am not. But if you contact @Zizounai or @Olga-Leskiw-Suzuki they can give you my email address (show them this post so they know). They know me very well for years and you do too.
OK R-R I'll give your email to Skyangel. At the moment I'm just glad you didn't use PM to describe your wonderful chop, so everybody can enjoy what you wrote.
