Animal Hybrid-Assignment #7

Artist Reflection:
                           The strongest technical aspect for my animal would be the fur on the dolphins. This is my strongest technical aspect because it looks realistic cause I had used my clone stamp tool to get the fur onto the dolphin. I also made the fur different shades like it was on the snow leopard. The part that I could improve on would be the parts where I had the dolphin skin showing. On the tail of the big dolphin and the fin on the small dolphin it doesn't look that realistic because the dolphin skin looks a little like painted on.
                         The easy part of this activity was the background. I used the mask tool to get the sunset in the background. Using the mask tool made it really easy for me to change the background. The difficult part of this activity was using the clone stamp. It was a bit difficult because I had to keep going back and forth to get the fur. It was also difficult for me to get the dolphin skin showing through since I had put the fur on the whole dolphin and then went back and get the dolphin skin to show.
                       The objective of this project was creating the animal hybrid by using the clone stamp. I demonstrated this by using the clone stamp to get the snow leopard fur on the dolphin and the dolphin skin on the dolphin. If I could do this art activity again, I would have only put the snow leopard fur on the face and most of the dolphin leaving the tail, and the fins. By doing that I think my animal would look more realistic. Since, I had cover my whole dolphin with fur, I had to go back and use the clone stamp tool to the dolphin skin and apply it on the tail and fins on the dolphin. I think since I had to use the stamp tool, the dolphin skin that is being shown looks a little fake compared to the fur.
