Splice Club

Your challenge is to take completely different animals, tear them apart, and fuse them into a single, terrifyingly seamless hybrid. We aren't looking for a messy, copy-paste collage. We want an impossible mutation that looks like it was captured in-camera in the real world. You may use images from the assets provided, or use your own sources.

• Generative AI is strictly banned in this challenge. This is a pure test of your compositing chops. All masking, shading, warping, and color grading must be executed manually. Prove you actually know how to push your pixels.
• You may integrate elements from the assets provided and/or use your own source images to create your scene.
• Match the grain. Balance the lighting. Blend the opposing textures. If the community can see where one asset ends and the other begins, your creation may not survive the voting arena.
