1.) What problems did you overcome during this project and how?
>The main issue that I had with the project involved finding pictures of animals to use. Every time I pulled up Photoshop to start the project, my mind would just shut down. To counter this, I watched the tutorials as much as I could and I did my best to keep an open mind.
2.) If you could change anything about the piece what would you do?
> The one thing I would definitely change would be the amount of time it took me to get this project off the ground. Other than that, the only concern I have with the project is the quality of the end product. However, I do realize that with practice, I will be able to accomplish such an assignment in a more orderly fashion in the future.
3.) Explain your animal? What is their name/species? How did you come up with this idea?
> The animal I made was fish with a lizard head. The name of the species ジョーカーの魚 Jōkā no sakana or in English: The Joker Fish. The idea for this particular project came as a last minute crunch. I found a bunch of pictures for sharks being hybridized with other animals, but I didn't see many combinations involving just your standard everyday fish. With no other stable ideas, I decided to take a lizard head and plop it onto a Large-Mouth Bass body. It took a while to get a feel for the fusion of the two animals, but I eventually got it. In the end, it turned out pretty well, and it surprisingly took a very interesting combination of realistic and cartoonish art. The name of the fish comes from a story that I'm in the middle of trying to write. It can be found in one of the many pocket dimensions that the characters stumble across. As a result of the fish not being in no known documents, the characters name it after their team, Joker Company. The fish's head also has a very strong resemblance to a dragon, and is also recognized as a Dragon Fish or ドラゴンの魚 Doragon no sakana.
