Splice Contest Entry - X613

New Artwork by Chris Trefz of Military Experiment Gone Disastrously Wrong.

Splice Movie Art Contest entry by Chris Trefz
Created for Deviant Art Contest based on the movie "Splice".

"A secret experiment will break the laws of science and create an animal-human hybrid. In 2010 their greatest creation will be unleashed." - Splice movie tagline

Here's the backstory I wrote for my creature:

Subject X613 was the pride of the government's Bio-Weapons Division. Nothing like it had ever been attempted in the branch's history. The Creature's DNA was a perfect blend of earth's most resilient predators, including: Hammer Head Shark, Bat, Cheetah, Praying Mantis, and Scorpion.

X613 possessed flight, incredible speed, brute strength, armored skin, and unexpected regenerative properties. The Creature's structural perfection was surpassed only by it's sheer aggression.

Uncle Sam wanted me to create the most vicious killing machine the world had ever seen, and I gave it to them. Of Course no great achievement in science comes without certain risks.

On May 25, 2010, subject X613 broke free of it's cloning chamber two days before it's scheduled “birth”. The Neural up-link implanted in it's skull to control the beast, proved... less then effective. As did the guard's weapons.

In the process of X613's escape, it killed a total of 11 scientists and 23 guards. Not a bad demonstration really, though the squawking generals who funded my research failed to appreciate the achievement, instead fixating on minor details like “control.”

A plan for re-acquiring X613 is still in the works. Though we hope to locate and contain the subject before it reaches civilian populations. The inevitable collateral damage X613 will cause if it reaches a populated area will no doubt make funding more difficult for X614...

Godzilla vs Octopus

New Illustration by Chris Trefz of Godzilla Battling a Giant Octopus in a Tribute to Classic Kaiju Films Introduction In my latest artwork, I had the opportunity to delve into the world of kaiju and unleash the mighty Godzilla in an epic battle against a formidable opponent.

This illustration combines the modern design of Godzilla with the charm and spirit of classic Japanese films, bringing to life an exciting clash of titans in the depths of the ocean. The Artwork Description In this pencil drawing, which I later scanned and digitally colored, Godzilla takes center stage as he grapples with a colossal octopus lurking beneath the ocean's surface. The majority of the octopus remains hidden, allowing only its tentacles to emerge, entangling around Godzilla's powerful arms. The tension is palpable as Godzilla twists and strains, roaring in ...
