Hybrid Animal

For this artwork, I combined a frog, whale, and turtle to create a Wurgle. The frog represents agility, speed, and jumping and it symbolizes fitness. The whale represents peace and friendliness. The turtle stands for grace and a calm and composed attitude. All three animals have some connection to water, which is something close to me in my life. The Wurgle's nest needs improvement, but I think that the sense of space was depicted well in this artwork. On the closest Wurlge, I angled him in a way that made the head seem larger and the tail seem smaller so it look like it was swimming towards you and not horizontally. I also placed a Wurgle near the ship wreck, made it smaller in size, and turned the opacity down. I was also able to show the predators by inserting the shadow of a lurking shark. I think that people who have a connection to the ocean and marine life will enjoy this piece of artwork. I was able to learn and experiment using the cloning tool while creating the hybrid animal.
