For this assignment we had to take various pictures of five green things and turn them into a cohesive whole. I decided to make a face using the pictures. At first I couldn't think of an idea but after looking around on the internet I decided to make a face sort of like those faces that are sometimes carved out of wood. I don't think my face turned out like the wood carvings, because it is very rounded and doesn't have the right shape, but it still looks like a face. I think the best part of the picture is the hat because it looks like a hat and even has a kind of 3-D aspect that comes from the lines and shades of color in the distorted picture of the brim.

Animal

For this project I had to combine various parts of animals to create a hybrid, chimera animal. I wanted to make some thing really random but still cool so I drew inspiration from the chimera from Greek mythology. My animal had a zebra's body, two heads; one a lions, one a bulls, huge owl's wings, a cobra for a tail and an immunity to fire. The creature is standing in lava and in the corner there is a hunter who has been tracking the beast. I decided to place the hunter in the corner because the picture he originally came from was shadowing and that was the darkest area of the picture. I also had to resize the hunter and creature so that there would be some perspective.
