I got crazy one day and decided to merge a couple of animals from a zoo visit years ago. Original 1 is the rhino picture I started with. Added the head of a lioness (Original 2). Finally, removed the elephant from a purchased backdrop (Original 3) as a setting for my new beast. This is sadly lacking and needs something to finish it off, but I can't seem to figure that out. Suggestions?

Weird but wonderful. You have combined the images well, so that it isn't possible to see the join. I might have been tempted to give the creature the elephant's ears! With regards to the setting, perhaps a strange flying creature? A giraffe with wings maybe? Posted: 11/02/2019 03:36:45

What a wonderful idea, Mike! Hmmmm. Posted: 11/03/2019 23:36:38
Perhaps you could add a couple small figures that are running away from the strange, threatening beast? Posted: 11/02/2019 22:39:06

What a very clever creation and a most unusual one at that ! Extremely well done ! My only suggestion would be to add a prey?? Posted: 11/05/2019 10:49:43

A tough task to merge these three - but a very creative idea. The suggestion from Mike could be fun. Posted: 11/15/2019 23:18:06

I agree, but haven't found the right combination yet . . . Posted: 11/21/2019 16:36:48
Great imagination to combine these three shots. But there is so much emptiness in the right half - to match your title you need a person dashing away from the monster. Posted: 11/16/2019 03:35:42

Needs something else, like a man - with or without a knife and fork ;) Posted: 11/16/2019 09:49:18

Better!! Posted: 11/29/2019 15:36:59
Cool idea. It's interesting to work where you think the different parts of the creature starts & ends. Everyone has provided some great ideas to get the imagination going. Posted: 11/17/2019 06:23:55

Thanks, Jennifer. What do you think of my rework below? Posted: 11/21/2019 16:39:35

Thanks all for the input. I think the correction this needs is something running away. To that end, I put this together. Thoughts? Posted: 11/21/2019 16:33:58
That does the trick. Both animal and human escaping. Posted: 11/22/2019 05:36:36
Perfect! Fantastic! Posted: 11/21/2019 18:19:00
