Hello boys and girls.

This here challenge is a nice and fun designing exercise I had the pleasure of running for quite a while now at another CG forum.

The rules are simple enough, and the possibilities are Endless (well, no. not really, but the possibilities are quite vast...)

in a nutshell -
We give you 2 animals - you combine them into 1. you got about a week.
sounds easy, right? well, yeah. if you go the tomato route.
but keeping it unique and somewhat fresh is harder than one might think.

anyone who feel like giving it a go - is more than welcomed.
come the deadline - a public poll will determine our winner.
:)

confection #4 :

and cheers.

Pat.

Hi Chuck mate,

I would like to attach a picture here for this challenge, but I don't seem to have access to the attachment manager in this thread, is that normal?

Let me know how I can get it in here.

Thanks,
Quinn

it is odd.... well, I can`t help you with the attachment problem here,
but I can suggest you`ll do what I do (and most people, for that matter) -
host your image on an outside image host, and link the image here using the image tag button ( http://conceptart.org/forums/images/editor/insertimage.gif ).

cheers,
Pat.

Chuck, I love your sketch. It's crazy and funny and your stylizing rocks, as always.

Quinn, it's a beautiful combination of the two, and the pose is adorable. I like its puffy feather-duster tail =)

Here's my go (a beginning at least). It's only when you start trying that you realize how difficult it is to mix some animals...
