2. The image must consist in a mix of two or more animals;

[rob_247]

This is my first entry so hopefully im not embarassing myself. Thought it would be fun to pay tribute to the starter of this challenge (PM), so i made the second part in his series.

My rules: can't use the same parts as PM, must use all the animals he used, can't introduce more animals.

Credits:

Same original images as PM used
PM - the heading text, background and the monster on the right!

[George55]

Rob: Welcome to the Weekly Challenges, well you did something original on your own, using the same animals that PM used. It looks cool making the second part of Animal Mix. Hope to see more of your work here.:D

[PM]

hahahahaha, very cool!!!
yeah, very original rob!! i guess thats never been done before - changing another user's image - , but hey, i dont mind at all, its cool!!!
i just hope ur rhinoraffeagle doesnt try to hunt my girhineagle snake tail...
hehehe...

:cheers

[rob_247]

lol thanks pm.

given the choice if i was doing it from scratch i think your combination is much better. (ie your creature looks more useful than mine!)

The whole thing looks like some sort of cross-breeding experiment gone wrong. Its a good challenge though :cheers

Hey you guys. I'm new to all this jazz. An amatuer and wanne-be at the ol' designing stuff. I thought this fun Animal Mix would be a good way to start off. I am using PS7 until I can get sorted with the more up-to-date versions.

I don not know to to insert my jpg animal mix into this post? Can you help please?

[JimG]

Once you have uploaded or stored your jpg on a server you can insert the jpg using the BB Code as shown below.
