I based my altered fairytale off of the original fairytale of Cinderella. Cinderella is about a girl named Cinderella who lives with her two evil stepsisters and evil stepmother. Cinderella goes to the ball and meets Prince Charming, and then the two of them then fall in love. In my altered tale, I changed the plot line and gave it a twist. Instead of Prince Charming falling in love with Cinderella, he falls in love with one of the evil stepsisters. In my creation, I made sure to create shadows at the appropriate exposure and blur to make them appear life-like. The most difficult part of my creation was finding the appropriate pictures to include in the overall project. Nevertheless, I am happy and pleased with how my altered fairytale came out as a finished product.

My hybrid animal is a combination of a full-grown male lion and a golden retriever puppy. I chose these two animals because of how they both represent me. The lion represents me because i can be really aggressive and angry sometimes, and with my very curly hair, it reminds me of a lion mane. The golden retriever represents me because even though I am a teenager, I act like a little kid most of the time, much like a little puppy who has loads and loads of energy all of the time. I created space in my creation by making sure to choose a background that represented the hybrid animal's environment, and making sure it had animals and scenery that would be taken place in its real habitat. I like how I blended the puppy's head and the lion's body together, but I feel like i could have done a better job with the background scenery.
