Contest: Create a Chimera (+2 entries)

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 22, 2009, 9:53 AM

Ever since I saw Fullmetal Alchemist, I've loved Chimeras. It's hard to find good ones to just admire...so I thought that since people seem to love my creative contests, I'd make a chimera one!

What is a chimera? Well in mythology it's an actual creature, but my contest revolves around the genetics: a chimera is an animal that has two or more different populations of genetically distinct cells that originated in different zygotes. In short, a hybrid animal...an animal composed of different animal parts. Either very obvious on what parts that is, or more subtle to blend in to look like a new specie altogether! More creative, the better!

Your can mix things from extinct or mythical animals as well.

Rules

Your chimera must be created for this contest. If you had previously created one, it won't be accepted into this contest. You can create a character for yourself or someone else to use, so long as it was created for this contest.

BE CREATIVE. Use your own work and don't steal ideas from others, please.

UNLIMITED ENTRIES! Enter as many times as you like!

Deadline for now is set to Jan.1, 2010. If any changes are made, I'll announce it in my main journal and change it here.

You may add any other character of yours or mine (or someone elses, as long as they don't mind) to the picture. References are also welcome, neither are preferred over the other.
BUT BE DESCRIPTIVE SOMEWHERE Somewhere, either in the description or the image itself, say what different animals are composed into this creature and how/why.

The more creative you are, the better your chances!

Prizes

Only 1 winner! If there are any runner ups, I will make them an icon or something

If you want to donate a prize, be my guest! You can enter the contest if you donate, it doesn't change anything

Winner will get: 6 month sub, drawing and icon by me (dunno what, it's a surprise!) a fullbody lineart by

I actually like this style better.

The style is very clean, and when you get used to using it, you can add even more detail than you thought possible!

thanks! Yeah, I thought this style gave alot more possibility for detail, cause it forces you to, really. If you don't shade and all that, it just looks like a blob of color XD

I'll join. If you've seen my art I have a very fucked up imagination when it comes to abberational beasts, so expect something really freaky.
