Great piece, it has it's own personality. Elephants are amazing creatures, I've always been fascinated by their presence.

Thank you so much. I agree with you - I have always been intrigued by elephants and how social they are amongst their 'tribes'. So intelligent!! Just had to use one as a main element in this.

Thank you very much! I can't wait to get this one and hang it on my wall... lol I have two beautiful carved elephants that *Stewdog 's grandpa brought back from India, and I think they'll look great beneath this print!

Elephants are awesome. I like the look on his face. How do you do all this awesome stuff in such short time periods?

lol My husband wonders the same thing. Since I don't work at the moment, I have all day to devote to my art... so in all total, this creation probably took about twelve hours. I was up til almost 2:00 a.m. last night, and was back up at 7:00 a.m. this morning working on it. Yeah, I'm sick - I know. lol
I figure I should ride the wave of inspiration while it is here in full force, and while I have the time - because I never know when a dry spell will hit, or when I'll get busy.
But I can tell you this - my eyes are getting totally glazed from looking at the monitor so much. LOL

awesome.. as always... i just hate not to comment on it. i love the elephant, a very gentle creature. the lady which cast the sword aside makes you wonder what would she feel being eye to eye with this huge but gentle beast....
the texture is definitely a plus.

Thank you so much!! That's exactly what I was hoping people would wonder about. The gentle giant - yet so fiercely protective of his family.... the small woman, strong in so many aspects, face to face. I like feeling that she is a guardian of animals, and he guards her in silent thanks.
