composite animals


Again, here are some good and bad examples from past students-

Any exceptionally GOOD ones?

Awful ones?

How could you fix one of these to make it better?

Do you think it should be illegal for scientists to pursue genetic manipulation?

What combo-animal would you, personally like to see?
To own as a pet?

I really like number 3 its super cute. I don't like the fish and cat one though. I do thin it should be illegal for scientists to do genetic manipulation. I would love to see a penguin and a peacock.

The one I think is really good is the kitten's face on the owl or the lion's head on the hamster. The awful one would be the fish body and kitten head. The combo-animal I'd want for a pet is maybe like a penguin and a kitten or something, sounded cooler in my head...

Some of the worst ones were the animals with human faces. I don't know if I could fix it. I'm on the fence with genetic manipulation. i would like to see a tiger/lion, but not to own.

The one I like the most is kangaroo cat. I also liked the wolf penguin. I didn't like the ones with nothing special about them that had no editing like the tiger. I don't disagree with genetic manipulation. If I could own anything I would own a dog/horse.

You could make them better by coloring the head in better to make the color of the body that it is on. No I do not think that it should be illegal because there is nothing wrong with it. I would like to see that a cougar mixed with a wolf.

I think one of the best ones I saw would have to be #28. As for one that didn't look too well, #44 wasn't that great. One way to make these pictures better, you should match the coloring of both animals. Lastly, I think think it should be legal for the use of genetic manipulation.

18 is just plain, shit... it's a duck body with a cat head. I would have at least made the cat's fur slightly yellower to match the duckling. I think a sturgeon with a lion head, gills, and a huge mane would be really cool.

You could easily make ones better just by adding a different head or a different body! No i think it would be cool to have different kind of animals in the world or even here in Oregon City as long as they won't kill you! I would do a giraffe and something else!

I liked the owl with the vampire teeth. There are some good one's but I could definitely improve a lot of these photos and designs. I don't think that scientists should mess with nature in that kind of way. I would like to see a cougar with a dog face.

I feel that the best one is the cover of the blog. I find that it looks the most realistic out of all of them. I dont like the one of the duckling and the kitten. It just doesn't look realistic at all.

The ones that look believable are the ones that have two animals that are the same color. The bad pictures are of two animals that are totally different colors, making them look fake. You could make it better by blending the colors to make it look more realistic.

The one of alisa and the owl breathing fire were not good. some would be better if you could blend the colors to make it flow. I would make a giraffe and panda bear animal.

I like the One titled (2rhythm) because it looks good and it is funny. One that I didn't like is the one titled (15) because that cat looks nasty all naked and what not. I think genetic manipulation should not be illegal as long as it is done on animals only and they are not harming the animals.

the exceptionally good one is (#61) wolf tiger.
the aweful one is the (#44)dog body tith the horse head. I would do more blending and add more main to it or completely remove it to make it better. The animal combo i would like to have as a pet is #61

the pictures i think are the best are the ones that blend, the colors are similar. horebile pictures are ones where it looks like you cut out a magazine and gude on a face of something else

i don't like a lot of these. the only good ones were animals that shared similar textures. they look like animal cut outs from a magazine.

The cats face on the owl was good! 20 was bad i don't think they should have put that head on the body in the first place! I would want a cat dog or a elephant mouse:)

I thought a really good picture was the dinosaur head on a beetle. It looks really good. I thought a really bad one was a squirrel head onto a horse body. It looks really bad because they didn't crop out the hands on the squirrel. I think it should be illegal if the scientists are hurting the animals. I would want a bunny mixed with a hamster.

Number three is my favorite, i think its adorbale. :) I also thought the picture of the cats face and the owl was cool. Some were really bad and looked like you cut and paste.

There are a couple good ones but none exceptionally great. There were a lot of bad ones that i couldn't fix because im not an expert myself. I think its okay for scientists to pursue genetic mutation only in remote areas though to maintain the native animals. We wouldn't want to see a disaster and have the genetic mutated creatures take over an ecosystem.

The exceptionally good ones in my opinion were #3, #7, #34, #78, and #91. Some that were very terrible in my opinion were #43 and #50. To make them better I'd adjust the lighting and the blending they did and make it look more realistic than it does. I think that nature should be left the way it is and scientists shouldn't try to alter it into what they want. A combination animal I think would be interesting as a pet would be a rabbit-dog. I wouldn't personally want to own one as a pet because it would be to creepy to own.

I think the picture with the cat face with blue eyes on the owl body is pretty good and its really cute. The picture with the cat face on the fish body is bad because it doesn't fit and you can see part of the fish's face. It should be illegal for scientists to pursue genetic manipulation because they could create a crazy or really mean creature.

An awful example was the one of the squirrel and the horse. A really good one that I liked was the llama and cat one! I think it should be illegal for scientists to pursue genetic manipulation. I would want a bunny and a cat mix :)

The good ones would have to be the bear head on the squirrel, and there was a lot of other ones that stuck out to me. An awful one would be the cat head on the fish and the dog head on the bear. I think it should be illegal because you wouldnt know the out some of how it would act. I would like to see a money with a cat face.

There is some bad ones like the cat and the fish combined, you could find a cat and a fish thats the same color, like orange and cut out the head of the cat better. I would probably like to see a bunny/tiger so then I could cuddle it.

I like the lion on the hamster. The cat and fish is really cute but not believable. I don't really know how I feel about genetic manipulation. I would like to see a lion cheetah.

The fish horse is probably the worst one or the lizard with the girls face on it. The panther/panda one is kind of good. None of these really look that good.

Number 22 is really good. And number 39 is really bad. They didnt try to blend the duck into the dogs body and its crappy looking.

I think the worst one is the squirrel put on the horses head since it still has its arm in the photo. A good one is the panda on the squirrel it is pretty good. I don't care either way if they do genetic manipulation.

The ones that are bad are the ones that the face is not angles right and so the face is all messed up. I think scienttis to do what they what! My face on a car :)

Anonymous said...

Wful ones would be Alisas face on the lizard thingy, and the cat on the duck. You could fix them by using the eraser tool a little more and changing the lighting. I think there should be some sort of law passed and a lot of thought put into what animals they would do genetic manipulation on. I want to do an elephant face on a penguin.

One of the worst ones is the one with a girls head on a lizards body. One of the best ones was the cat and owl put together. Some of them need to have body parts that match the original animals fur/ hair color. I would love to own a narwhale and a penguin or a unicorn and a zebra. Nikole kruger

I think the one with the cat's face on the owl was a really good one. A bad one was the girl's face on the iguana. I think for a pet I'd like a mix of a pug and a lion. I think that's be cute.

For the most part... they were all pretty bad. But the worst one that i saw was the cat pis thing? First off i wouldnt have chose a cat face to go on a fish because they have completely different textures. Yes. The animal i would chose to keep as a pet would probably be a monkey lion. M.

Most of these examples look really bad. There are only a couple that actually look decent or good. It looks like most people just cut and pasted their photos together without any other effort.

The fox with the polar bear face is exceptionally good to me, it almost looks realistic. A bad one was the the cat with the fish body. I don't really care if scientists genetically manipulate animals. I would want to see a horse and a monkey be mixed together.

The worst was the cat and fish combo, but the best i think was the lion. Some needed more fur contrast and maybe same size necks

The best one is probably the ginger ale and the whale... The worst is most likely the pig bird thing. The best way to fix these is just take a bit more time in doing them. Genetic splicing should be illegal only if it is on a adult animal. Inserting genes in the food the mother eats it fine since the baby will eat it process it and be fine. Though it has to be something that is already in the DNA code and is only latent. I would want a liger, for their magical qualities.

There were some really good ones. I liked number ten the most. The one with the fish with a cat head was horrible. I think it should be illegal maybe because they could probably make some really creepy animals and i just don't like that. I would probably want a really fluffy kitten mixed with a bunny or something cute like that,

There are a couple of bad ones but I wouldn't say awful, like the zebra and the cow isn't made very well. just not that much work was done on the seem of the two animals. I don't think that genetic manipulation should be illegal but it should be watched carefully. I would like to see a dogs head on a lemur body.

I like #6 because they really made it look like a cat owl. I think the worst one is the squirrel horse because they have two different colored fur. I think it should be illegal for scientist to pursue genetic manipulation because we don't need weird animals like a horse dog or something like that.

I think number 9 is pretty bad. To fix one of them, you could resize the head or something because some of them have huge heads, or really small heads and it makes it look bad. I think it's okay for scientists to do genetic experiments, but they shouldn't do it on an animal that doesn't have a big population, like if they are becoming extinct. I would transform a dog and a bear.

I like number 24 its a really good one. I think that number 2 is a really bad one. I could fix it by resizing and blending it in.

I saw a few good ones like the zebra gorilla one. That one was creative. But the one that really sucked was the one of the wolf with the bird beak. I think it would be illegal for scientists to mess around with genetic manipulation. I would love to see a monkey and an eagle combined. That would look awesome, but kinda freaky looking.

I think the one of the fish with the cat head on it is really bad. To fix it, you could make the skin of both the animals the same color or resize the head to make the body and head the same size. I would transform a cat and a hamster.

Some of the pictures are pretty funny. Some dont fit the bodies there on well. They look good but they just dont fit the color and the body. LIke the fish and cat.

Anonymous said...

My favorites are the dogs with the wings on them. I think it's funny & on some of them, you can barely tell it's photoshopped.
The two animals I would like to 'see' manipulated are a shark and a penguin, just because they're so oppositie, it would be interesting to see how they would interact as one.

I think the one with the Pit and the Cow is, while creepy, pretty good. I think some of these the only fixable way would be to start anew with animals that remotely match in terms of color. I think genetic manipulation should be illegal to certain degree. I think a Hyena-Pit cross would be something I would want to see/own.

The 1cat is really good because it looks like an actual cat body. Number 9 is really bad because you can tell the face doesn't belong there and also that it;s a human head on a animal body. To fix these pictures i would probably change the animals faces so they look more convincing.

The worst one in my opinion was the cobra with bat wings, because it just looked terribly unrealistic. I personally would like to see a gorilla Tiger, because that would be amazing. I believe that it should be legal so long as the animal is not in pain or suffering in any way.

I thought the majority of the pictures were really good. I thought the giraffe and turtle was really bad. It doesn't fit together good at all. I think photoshop should be illegal all together but genetic manipulation in real life I think is fine. I don't think I'd want any of these as a pet..

The ones that colors don't match and look like they were pasted were awful. But some of the pictures could look fairly real! An animal I would like to see is a wolf/dog and a tiger/lion morphed together.. that'd be a pretty cool animal.

Ones where they tried to just add so many things to one animal or when there not even the same color. Or angle. You want to get a new photo or edit more.
