Yes, I've been raiding 'the chive' again, but this really caught my attention. Artist/photographer Daniel Lee has made these stunning crossinsg fo human and animal. i'm amazed by how you can tell what they are just by looking at them - it just shows how distinctive animal faces are. These are his chinese new year collection

it fascinates me, because i love to create alien characters/species and it's so difficult to create the humanoid-but-not-a-person-with-face-paint-like-star-trek feel. I think I could really learn from this.

[I need to figure out a baboon 'manimal' - any ideas?]


edit: oh yeah, the first one is an ox. (doesn't say on the chive site)


Here's Daniel Lee's website http://www.daniellee.com/

i know!
I had a fiddle aroudn photoshop in an attempt to recreate something like it. I failed horribly.
*gets out sketchpad instead* XD

Hmmm....not bad at all. Are you going to draw a full figure of him?

Just wondering because when I think of baboons my first thought goes to their booty....lol sweatdrop

Not too ba d- I've got a ref picture. Though i fail at drawing six-packs sweatdrop
Trying to fiddle with proportions is difficult too >< It'll either look stupidly freak or it'll end up looking like a too-average human -haha xp

its teh same with me and my sis, just opposite.
I can draw guys but don't like drawing girls, and she can draw girls but hates drawing guys lol
