Newimal Project

For the newimal project, I had to find an animal that went well with my zoo project animal, which was a chimpanzee. After a long time searching (and some suggestions from Mr. Grayson's Dad), I chose to put a boar head on a chimp body. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. This is it:

Forced Perspective

I wasn't too keen on anything like a bear so I decided to choose a mammal in the Cervidae (deer) family called an elk. It looks like a smaller version of a moose. This is how it turned out:

Cartoon

My cartoon is not finished yet but this is what I have so far. The story line is about an alien walking in the woods when he was abducted by humans (I know! ironic!). He has to figure out a way to escape alive.

Cartoon Bones

For my cartoon bones project, I chose a random cool looking Pokemon from Google images and printed it out. Then I copied it onto see through paper and copied it again on another sheet of paper. On that sheet, I gradually erased it and added in bones. I ended with this:
