Hello folks - RipRoarRex here with the first piece of my new batch of artwork.



Back whilst I was having a short break from work back in October, I had been in a massive elephant foot mood again (don't worry, it's normal for me...!) I was rather drawn therefore to a new idea involving two-footed elephant stompage. Yes, I know. Hux is becoming more and more anthro, isn't he? This one comes after 2009's "Cirque Du Stomp" which played on a similar pose. Don't blame me - blame Giran for putting the whole 'non-anthro elephant stomping along on two feet' thing into my head. The crush fan in me finds something so drool-inducingly appealing about a creature that, being so heavy as to require four feet, can then consciously choose to increase the pressure of its weight by rearing up onto its hind feet. Yes. I'm sorry. That's just how my brain works.

:shock:

This was enjoyable in some ways but a real pain in the arse in others. The drawing process seemed to flow quite nicely on this occasion, which is bloody rare for me, but I'll admit it was still tricky to draw. Having a cumbersome creature like an elephant standing on one leg and then trying to visualise that from underneath is not exactly easy! The background was more of a pain than I thought it would be too, and I must admit I rushed it a bit after a while. For whatever reason I had a particular style of lighting in mind for this, trying to make it look like they were in the shade of the cliffside. The trouble is this proved to be really problematic when trying to get the sky right on the second angle! I'm still not 100% happy with it but it's good enough for me.

Much like with the other, I think you did the POV just fine! I do feel 'closer to the ground' in this one as well. :)

Perhaps that's because an elephant can make you feel closer to the ground than a horse can. If you know what I mean... ;) Lol!

Thanks, Dino!

There isn't more? Oh wait... there doesn't have to be. This piece is stunning on potential intensity alone. You know where I'm coming from, right? Basic physics lesson, potential energy vs. kinetic energy? The poise, the posture, the possibility... Bazinga!

Too nerdy? :whistle:

Nope, not nerdy - just formulaically quantifying the sheer sex of it.

:lol: Lol!!

Thanks, Sprotchymon. ;)
