Description
After seeing a couple of Animal manipulations and reading this tutorial [link] by `mirrorkills , I really wanted to make my own hybrid. I chose the lion and the zebra because this makes a great title.With Gimp, I had to use completely different tools than the tutorial suggested, had to stick to cloning, copy-paste and modifying cut-out pieces, alas. I want a warp brush!!!
If longer titles were accepted it would have been Libra - The balance of Predator and Prey
Thank you
for providing both the lion [link] and one of the the zebras [link]
for the other zebra [link]
Cheers,
Q-Rai
edit: Corrected the opacity of the stripes for the face

I did indeed, but it didn't turn out as nice as the Libra one... [link] I'm not too happy with it
Anyway, maybe you like it more than I do!

Nice merge on the Zebra strips lineup too....i can see you worked at it and didnt just slap it on !..
Plus the "Serengeti romp" implications are very funny ..

Be sure to enjoy Fangfinger sigs wherever he comments ....
Each sig is delicately hand chosen by Fangfingers himself , tenderly washed and fluffed ...and placed at just the right distance from the comment for maximum exposure and enjoyment.

Thank you!
What's Serengeti romp though?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well..if that creature really existed in the wild....in your imagination ...what would have had to take place for nature to make him?.....
so on the Serengeti...( where lions and zebras roam ) ....what took place?...
So instead of lions attacking a herd of zerbra to eat them .......they ......
( 'Romp' meaning ...gambol..."play" ..."a roll in the sack ".... )
Serengeti romp ...

I know how that feels lol... being with an art class and not being able to fully express yourself how you want to XD

Yup it's horrible XD We only worked with pencils (okay, fine with me) or childrens' water colours... *sighs* that's public schools over here, I guess

it is funny I had (little time ago) the idea to make exactly the same mixture of animals and I did not succeed correctly..
Excellent work, very good fusion of the skins!

Warp stuff 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know if PS has it but PaintShopPro seems to. I found out about warping via [link]
Gimp has it, too and it's free (but pretty difficult to get used to when you've used PS before) [link]
Basically, it's a stretch/compress kind of thing but a lot better. You could i.e. drag the Zebra skin into shape for the lion.

ok! I have also PaintshopPro 8, I will look at that a little more closely
Again all my thanks for your devotion and time that you devote to learn to me from the good things
