OMG, these are great examples running the gamut from lmao punny to screamingly absurd. I have members in mind -- whom I won't mention by name -- whose warped and ironic sense of humor should produce some wild entries! I hope they all partake.

I am looking forward to these!

This one will be great fun.To keep it simple, I suggest just one entry per person.

That guinea pig lion hybrid cracked me up!

I agree. I would rather see a member put a lot of thought and work into one spectacular composite than several mediocre attempts. Quality over quantity.

Priceless!

(except maybe it should have been a hyena you crossed the good doctor with!)

This is my worst area of Photoshop. I guess it's an excuse to try something I don't do a lot of, and see if I can learn something

How can ya learn if ya don't try?

 

[SPWA]

Here's my beginner effort. I'm not sure if it's the right type of thing, so I may try again, and change my entry before the time.

​

EDIT: forgot to add the images used.

Nice One SPWA...love your goriphant!
:lol:

 

[hershy314]

Nice one. Personally I would tried to match the elephant's head to the gorilla's body color, but that's just me.

 

[SPWA]

I actually tried to do that, but for some reason I couldn't get it to do what I wanted, taking into consideration, it's only the 4th time I've tried an image manipulation.

 

[ibclare]

For a first try, not what I really thought I would do. Will have to get more abstract next one.

Clare, earlier in the the thread I suggested to post just one final image to keep this contest simple. What do you think about my idea?

It's a brilliant idea egosbar...nicely implemented.
