I actually cleaned off my art desk so that I could work on it!! I also had good light. I was trying a different technique, too. Completely finishing one section before moving on to something else. I think it worked really well. I know what you mean about being blended better, the last one was a particular style that I used to do that I was trying to copy but I feel I've progressed beyond that now.

AMAZING WORK! Such detail! I know how hard elephants can be but you seemed to have gotten this down! Great work!

Yeah, all the wrinkles give such detail! I personally love the ears of an elephant and don't get me started on how hard a trunk is to do! XD Thank you so much for commenting. I really appreciate it.

The client didn't want a background, so that's a no but if it was for me, I probably would have put one in, even if it was plane just to contrast with the skin more, you know, really make him pop out at you.

Hmm. Okay. I was just curious. I agree, even a plain background would make it pop. Whatever the client wishes, the client gets.
