The blend isn't quite as smooth as I'd like, but creepy enough to get a 9 from me.

This is pretty good. Kinda creepy too. You blended the man and dog pretty well (but the model is pretty hairy). This is what I imagined this challenged to be (Mythical Creature/Expert editing), one of my top picks so far. Man, this creeps me out..... 10

Great idea. Very well executed (with the exception of the blown highlights on his right arm and hand).

Oh .... My....now that is just out and out FREAKY! But then, that is what you intended I believe. The blend between the corgi dog and the man's torso is seamless; I like the attention to detail where the chest hair blends into the dog half. The Manorgi's stance while threatening with the fierce facial expression the hands appear a little odd. The facial expression show threat but the open hands do not...having the hands curled in a clawlike position would have been better. The open hands make me think startlement which conflicts with what emotion I see on the face. I think the Mancorgi would have been more comfortable in his native habitat rather than the stark white background (i.e. forest, desert, etc, etc,) Still this a wonderful composition that meets the spirit of the challenge (even though one created it shows much imagination;-) )
