First assignment was a collection of 20 silhouettes created from a prompt of animal-plant hybrids.

All of these have some basis in science; either through the similar environments both species live in, or similar life patterns, biologic features, or even time periods these species existed in.

There's many cases of convergent evolution on Earth, and I'd imagine, given the opportunity and circumstances, that plant / animal hybrids could theoretically evolve in the same manner; occupying specific niches, developing food webs based on size, defense, proliferation. etc.  I opted for make a broad range of organisms, rather than focus on a select few in a specific environment; this allowed me to demonstrate a larger sample of these creatures rather than a grouping of too similar ones.

Below are the two pages of source material that I used to jump-start the idea process behind this project.
