The Aquatic Tiraffe,
a previously unknown species, is a mysterious and elusive creature. This one in particular is the third generation offspring of a tiger named Tracy and a giraffe named Gerald. They had a tiger and giraffe hybrid that they named Fernando. Later on in life, Fernando mated with a mystical creature, a mermaid, by the name of Desica. The resulting product is what we see here. I named him Franklin.

But really. I had an epiphany one day while thinking about Chimeras and I scrambled haphazardly to find my little sister. Upon locating her, I asked her to name three completely random animals. She named the giraffe, tiger, and a fish, and I smashed it all together. Viola, the Aquatic Tiraffe! (My little sister came up with the name, too.)

I have rare epiphanies such as those... Afterwards, I can't draw anything meaningful for a few days or so... Ugh, lol.

Awesome! You have an amazing ability and your potential is through the roof!!! You will go far.

It was remarkable when I saw it small, but it's 1000 times cooler up close!

Awwwww, it's so cute! This drawing is well done, the parts fit seemlessly together, I find myself believing whole-heartedly in the existance of this whimsical creature :)
