Thylajim

 This artwork consists of 4 photographs in Photoshop and about 10 layers in Illustrator. I was trying to create a half-human, half-animal piece that has not been done before, so I searched for a rare animal and came up with a Thylacine, which is a now extinct marsupial native to Australia. It had a dog/kangaroo/tigerlike body and died out in the 1930s. I added myself into the photo as an interesting play in using a self-portrait and also because I felt it would be easier to have a photograph of myself to fit this particular photo. This art piece is very fun and unique to look at but is still lacking a bit in the border area....
