ArtistHybrid 50% animal 50% plant: Kentucky coffee tree (Gymnocladus dioicus) x gray reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) Full width 16:9 illustration filling the entire image width of a hybrid Kentucky coffeetree (Gymnocladus dioicus) x gray reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos). The hybrid creature looks like a Kentucky coffee tree hung with abundant seedpods that, on closer inspection, are gray reef sharks. The image shows a detailed close-up of part of the coffee tree, with its very large, compound leaves turning yellow in fall. The leaves provide a decorative, ornate background to the abundant gray reef shark seedpods. The image is executed in an appealing jumble of very tiny, extremely intricate, elaborate, decorative patterns and scribbles as well as some very tiny low-poly elements showing the coarse, sandpapery texture of the gray reef sharks’ skin. The leaves are shown in repetitive, ornate, highly textured and appealing patterns. The entire image is rendered in very rich, vibrant, ultra-detailed colors in intense pen-and-colored-ink technique. The color contrast scale of the image is very pronounced. The fully melded biological oddity is illustrated with painstaking precision in a detailed biology illustration style. Astonishing, impossible hybrid, extremely detailed, intricate illustration
This Kentucky coffee tree (Gymnocladus dioicus) x gray reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) hybrid has very, very strange seed pods!
