Digital Art: Composite Animal

Your Project:

You are going to create a composite animal so that it looks like it could really exist!  This is taken from the idea of the Chinese dragon.  Believe it or not, Chinese dragons are visually created by the combination of 11 animals; snake, rooster, tiger, goat, etc.

What you need to do:

1. Choose at least 3 animals you want to combine
2. 1. I would choose 3 animals that are not even near the same family for more complexity
   2. Animals with similar color is a bit easier
3. Create a new canvas:
1. Name: Composite Animal
2.  8.5 x 11 "
3. Res 300
4. The body is going to be the main image, so drag that onto your canvas first
5.  Then drag the image of the head and use a mask to delete the background and it's body
6. Select additional features from your other animals and drag them onto your canvas
7. Make sure the coloring of your composite animal all matches.  That includes textures and patterns!
