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 2018
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!
