This is a challenge for everyone who was not satisfied with the Animal Atlas collab's 2 animal limit. We all love drawing animals, so let's do some more. However this is not a fun collab, but a challenge, so prepare to meet some problems that will require creative solving.

February 15th is the World Hippo Day - a third heaviest land mammal after elephant and rhinoceros, and on February 27th we celebrate International Polar Bear Day - the biggest land predator. We decided to combine those two huge observances into one, by combining those two huge animals into one.

Create a sprite of a hybrid of a Hippopotamus and a Polar Bear. You can mix up any of their parts/traits in any way you wish. It can be a half hippo half bear in a mermaid way, a hippo with a white fur, or a polar bear which's mouth opens to 180°. Most likely, the more creative you are, the more attention you will cath in the poll.

Instead of a palette with realistic wildlife depiction capabilities, we give you something challenging. You have to use the 4pi Palette Created by Bo Tie.

Canvas Size - Max 200x150.
Colors - Max 9 (palette + transparency).
Transparency - Optional.
Animation - Optional.

 

The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.
