A general challenge, with no prize other than the right to brag.
Anyone want to put some wings on this photo?

(Posted here because, well, almost ANYTHING with wings is fodder for a D&D monster, companion, etc.)

Awful work, but I claim first answer.

That dog is actually jumping into the OT forum.

Understood.
(But I did actually have good D&D game material intentions.)

Here's my entry. Fear my post-exam pre-work spare time. A big shout out to the winged dog from Savage Species, and the WotC art galleries.

Nice job to both Zappo and Impeesa.

I'm not talented with Photoshop myself, but I did recently stumble across the site below which holds several weekly themed Photoshopping contests. Looking through the archived galleries is a riot.

It may have even been a link from these boards which originally led me there.

That reminds me of another cool site, Human Descent. Some bizarre image manipulation there - my favorites are the hybrid animals.

Very nice job. Nice indeed.
(For the body weight I'd expect slightly larger wings, but who am I to complain? I got nothing to contribute myself, after all.)
Kudos. I may save this to my desktop.

By the way PCat, wouldn't this sort of thing be more appropriate in the homebrewed monster forum? Really, if we assume it's not just a goofy photo-manip for the sake of being goofy, I'm thinking that monster-ized or fantasied images could be a useful resources, ala Monster Manual depictions. ... That was my intent, anyway.

Well, mine was just something I did in 5 minutes of boredom. Impeesa's one is better.
