Impossible Project
Create an image of something impossible with a composition of at least 2 sourced images
First things first, brainstorming. I don't go into specifics when it comes to brainstorming because sourcing free images isn't the easiest thing in this project.
I did an impossible image when I was in high school using images, I took myself from two different pictures of myself, clump of exposed wires that were not connected, micro-USB wire and a pencil I chewed on.
High school impossible project with pictures I took myself. Not the original file, it's a picture of the file printed.
I tried to reduce the glow, but I didn't try my best yet. Anyway, I took a bit of inspiration for this impossible project. I went with "Mad Science" and create my own chimaera using the base of a duck, legs of squirrels, mouth of a crocodile and some mandibles from a wasp. While cross species already do exist, it's impossible to cross animals that belong to different families and each animal that I picked are different families.
The process started with laying down the base, aka the duck. I then attached the squirrel legs, making the leg in the background darker and doing slight alteration to differentiate them. Next up was the reflecting of the legs in the water while altering the reflection of the already there duck leg to hide it. Afterwards, I attached the croc mouth and adjusted the color to make it seem natural on the body. However, even though I adjust the color nicely, it didn't quite fit because it had to slide over the front of the face but it created an abrupt look as it changed from sunset orange into white without blending. I first tried to lightly mask the top of the mouth but it didn't work so I applied a gradient to make the upper part of the mouth blend more nicely into white. Finally, I attached the mandibles of the wasp which was the easiest as I just inverted the black mandibles to make it white and fit nicely on the duck's head.
