Description
So, I just found this old gift card from my, like, 11th birthday to this local art store, so I picked up a pack of watercolor paper and some good old German watercolors. (No, seriously, everything was in german. Even the color names. Did you know "orange" is still the same?) But, you know, lucky me, I know my colors.So, considering I'm not very good with watercolors, I tried to give it a shot. (This is my first real picture with them. >>; )
(German watercolors + white china ink + normal black ink + National Lampoon's Vacation or whatever)
-----
And as for the picture, I kind of had this little story bubbling in my head to keep me sane because I had no internet at my dad's house yesterday.
What if, in Africa, (or some fictional world resembling Africa) there was only one herd of pure white elephants left, because humans were killing them for their skin? And what if, in that one herd, there was on elephant none of the other elephants liked? And, what if, for one hour, they had the opportunity to turn one of the elephants into another animal permenantly? AND, what if, they decided to use the outcast and turn him into a bug and squash him? But, what if the outcast spoke first, and decided to become a human? AND THEN, what if he decided, now that he has the powers of a human, he wanted to save all the rest of the elephants from extinction? Hm?
Maybe you'll be seeing more of "Elephant" later.
And you can tell he was an elephant because he has a big nose. xD

Gahhh, thank you so so much!!! >3< It was kinda hard to do... you have to use ALOT more water in the colors than I thought... well, hence the name "watercolors"....
Thank you again! I had so much fun with the elephants... (mainly because I probably couldn't draw a real elephant if I tried... xD )

Actually, the elephants kinda look like these, I squished them down a bit. xD But yeah, I was in my room there when I did this. Although I only recall looking at the elephant on the wall after I drew. It was probably in my subconsious or something.
And wtf is an amirite?

That story is so perfect! The part with the big nose is the best. XD
And little elephants are adorable, folds on his shirt look really nice and the design of his clothes is yummi.
Ha ha, I've just imagined those little elephants silently floating through the room-that would be awesome.
