Let me just say that this project was pretty awesome. It was a ton of fun fooling around on Photoshop, meshing different types of animals together, as well as playing with different picture angles and coloring. It's such a cool concept, playing God in the creation of crazy animal morphs, all while attempting to make them look somewhat plausible in an interesting environment.
I opted for the butterfly ears on a whim, since the wing shape was somewhat similar to that of an elephant's ear. I thought it looked pretty cool as it was, but wanted to make something a bit more interesting, so I decided to change up the body. For the body, I wanted to pick an animal with a somewhat similar skin texture to the elephant, but with a completely different shape to it. With this, I settled on the walrus, who I have always felt very fondly towards with its adorable whiskers and stunningly shapeless form. The entire project involved a lot of layer masks to morph together each animal part, as well as distortion, stamping, and hue changes to best create a realistic morph. And that's how I formulated this gem of a creature.
It did take quite a while though, to find morphs that actually worked together, and with animals I actually liked. In fact, the majority of this project was just picking which animals and pictures to morph together. I tried guinea pigs, horses, owls, sloths (my favorite), cats, and even ladybugs before finally settling on my final morph. Though, I must say that my sloth/owl combination was pretty fantastic:

I think that my morph came out pretty well. Of course, there's little things that I wish looked a bit better despite my attempts to fix them in Photoshop, but I still like what I made quite a bit. Awesome project overall, would definitely do it again.
