Hello boys and girls, once again.

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.
:)

that`s it basically.

good luck ppl,
cheers.

Hello! hello!

Sweet topic, looking forward to see you guys shrewffalos :yum:
Two sketches, just had to get these two "designs" out of my system.
My final will hopefully be more original :^^;:

gnahz, that's cool =) The 2 animals combine nicely and create something that looks like a real creature (and also reminds me a little of a ROUS :)), the back-neck-head area especially works for me. I suggest paying some more attention to the legs: the combination of bull and rodent anatomy works well, but the muscles and joints can use some more reference and thought.

:bashful: Thanks. EDIT: Why do we post via an outside image host?

I second that. Really great combo of the two animals.

Okay, yes, I do realize that neither shrews nor buffalo have naked pink tails, but I just had to carry my pink theme to the back end of the animal, 'k?

Oh, also...I totally didn't draw that background. I'm way too lazy. It's a clump of moss I nicked off the internet with the cutout filter applied to it. I have to figure out that custom brush thing, so I can be lazy in a more socially-approved way.

[Stoat]

Oh, shoot. I'm sorry. I didn't notice the "outside image host" thing. I'll have to wait until I get home.

Just out of curiosity -- how come some of the community activities want outside hosting and some want attachments?

[Keenir]

Breistift - your shrewfallow is very well done...looks rather saddened, though.

Chuck,mate - interesting; your ashrewffalom seems to be Africa's answer to the Giant Ground Sloths.

Stoat - your pink (since there's no filename) is novel...almost creodont in how it seems to combine two modes of locomotion (2- and 4-legged)

I'm going to guess that it's at home in the wetlands, eating nothing but fruit off tree branches.
