Description

A friend suggested that these might be the fastest head-butters on earth. Heck of a collision, I'll bet!

GZXers, thanks for the crits, hope you like the changes!!

Oops, almost forgot completely, this is the first manipulation I've done in a long time with photos other than my own - credit for these great wildlife shots go to   rgyoung777

quite excellent... only one minor error on the righthand bighorn cheetah is that you see the behind-the-neck flank coming up behind the righthand horn, such that it appears to bury itself in his/her neck... should be a real easy fix if you are so inclined... otherwise, masterful adaptation of patterning from cheetahs across the faces of the rams! +9

Starting to branch out eh? Looking good dave, except one little detail....

The horn on the right one...the way it just disappears into it's own back. Perhaps if you just trim the back at the point where the horn meets...ending with an upward arc to allow for the shoulder bones...then this is perfect.

i DEFINITLY love your imagination !!
The heads are so well blended, and the fur i very well added to their heads
i noticed the weak point today about the horn, but didn't have the time to tell you :p
now there's no weak points at all

ps : and my mom loves it !!

LOL!!! This looks quite real! *BOOOOMMM!* Another headbutt just happened! :)
There's something strange about the shadow of the right cheetah on the rock (?). I think that, judging from the shadows on the cheeta's themselves, it's a bit too light and soft. Still, great image! :)

Awesome Dave! This is so BRIGHT for you! It's good because I cannot see any sign of manip except that you have created a new species. I'll have to go to yuor home to take photos for my new field guide!

Great job on the edit Dave...that's exactly what I had envisioned.

You've got to be my favorite here, Dave. This is just perfect. The lighting, which I find to be the hardest to deal with, is just perfect here. You'll need to do a tutorial soon, as I want to be just like you.

You've managed to convince me completely with this one.
It is absolutely splendid work.
I'll put this in my fav-artwork list.

Ah, a clandestine genetic modification prjoect disguised as a wildlife breeding program. How intriguing. Which reminds me that I need some better photomanipulation tools than the ones I have now.

You captured pretty well the pose of the Bighorn with the Cheetahs skin! Clean editing!

Without the claws and the teeth, Cheetahs arent very scary :)

This is so natural looking it's creepy. haha.

I told my fiance to look at it, and he said: "What, it's just two animals looking around." Took him awhile to see it! Haha

<3 Well done!
