Morphed Animal

Artist Reflection 

The strongest technical aspect of my work is the blending of an orca whale and a seabird to make it appear as if it one animal alone by using the stamp tool to blend textures from one animal to another. The technical aspect of my work that could be improved on is the addition of the shadow which I tried doing to make it appear more realistic but i wasn't sure which way to warp it to make it appear as if the sun was shinning on the animal creating a shadow in the background.

The easy part of this activity was creating layer mask to erase parts of each animal to blend parts of each together. The difficult part of this activity was using the stamp tool to use textures from one animal to another because when I kept using it I would get unrealistic effects but I eventually figured it out and got it to work.

I demonstrated the objective my creating a morphed animal inside photoshop using layers and layer masks while also using the stamp tool to blend textures from one animal part to another. If I were to do this activity again differently I would try two different animals that may work together better and try to think about a background first maybe before selecting which animals I would like to use.
