Hybridia

(hai-bri-dee-uh)

A Hybridia is an encyclopedia compiled of hybrid animals. I created four of these creatures a goad, a rhark, a king cobstrich, and an octorpion. For each animal, I created a two page spread giving an in-depth description of the hybrid. Additionally, I hand sculpted each creature out of polymer clay to bring my creations to life. All of the illustrations included are hand drawn with graphite and hand painted with acrylic then scanned into the spreads.

I created this project for my senior thesis project during my final year at MIAD. The process was extensive, but I exceeded others and my own expectations with what I was able to accomplish.
