ArtistHybrid 50% animal 50% plant: White Silkie chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) x Great mullein (Verbascum thapsus) Full width 16:9 biological colored pencil illustration filling the entire image width of a hybrid White Silkie chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) x Great mullein (Verbascum thapsus). The chicken-mullein hybrid has many fluffy, velvety feathers growing velvet-like on mullein leaves. The bird has fully fused with the plant, showing characteristics of both entities - it has eyes, a beak, feathers, feet and many feathered leaves arranged in a dense rosette around a short stem. The image is executed with visible marks of hatching and cross-hatching lines. The breathtakingly unusual hybrid comes in a patch of several on a bare-earth background against a gray-blue, windy sky. Biological oddity portrayed in extreme detail with visible marks of colored pencil hatching executed with painstaking precision. The bare soil and sky as well as the several hybrids on the ground are rendered in zentangle patterning, executed with strongly visible hatching marks by the colored pencils. At the edge of the full-width illustration, the hatching marks exhibit beautiful zendoodling patterning in the style of Visoth Kakvei. The fully melded hybrid creature is illustrated in a style resembling that of biology illustrators Ann Swan and Jillian Dittner and fills the entire width. Astonishing, singular, adorable hybrid, extremely detailed, intricate illustration.
Adorable plant-animal hybrid, so soft and silky!
