Anglerphant
Mutation Nation ArtOrder Challenge
Digital

This was done for the ArtOrder (www.artorder.blogspot.com) challenge, Mutation Nation. I chose path #1, gene splicing, combining an angler fish and an elephant. This is an additional piece I did for myself that is not eligible for the challenge. Everyone was allowed one submission.

Gene Splicing - Select two disparate critters (a rat and a venus fly trap; a dragonfly and a electric eel; a kangaroo mouse and a grizzly bear), strip out their gene sequence, take 'em into you illicit backroom lab, swirl 'em together in a beaker, and see what you get. The monster you create should be more than a sum of it's parts. In other words, I don't want to see an electric eel with dragonfly wings and head. I want to see a brand new creature that is an actual melding of the two gene sequences, and creates a completely unique and integrated critter. Please create a name for your creation - preferably something tongue-in-cheek like Liger (Lion/Tiger), Electric Fly (Electric Eel/Dragon Fly), etc. and have it in the image.

Anglerphant by ~christopherburdett is a perfect example of outstanding creature designing! It really blows my mind, and make me feel scared while looking at it. I highly recommend you to take a look to the rest of his gallery. You wont regret. ( Suggested by `Krissi001 and Featured by `Atramina )

The idea of an African safari just got obliterated.

Why? This is not real.

I know, but I was speaking in the context as if it did exist. I already don't want to go, dangerous people and animals. Except maybe to get a hyena pup.

Hmmm... you might be almost, I say ALMOST as brilliantly insane as I. But I must ask you, what about a monitor lizard plus a praying mantis? Could you create that in your lab?

WOW
