Yeah, I too was compelled to jump on the bandwagon of doing a reference to that opening scene where Manny the Mammoth is going against traffic, much to everyone else's dismay.

It's almost a meme at this point, with perhaps the best iteration courtesy of Luis Arturo Dávalos, who remade the scene using accurate peistocene mammal fauna endemic to the northern regions of North America, prompting others to do their own take in some way (some worse than others I'm afraid)

So in this case scenario I thought I may as well give it a shot, since it's been an age since I last did paleoart. In this case scenario I decided to go with South American megafauna, with "Manfred" being a notiomastodon.

Other creatures consist of macrauchenia, toxodons, doedicurus, hippidion, tapirs, llamas, marsh deer, and giant anteaters.

As I brought up several times before, I'm not the best at coloring, and glyptodonts alone are a pain to draw, let alone colorize; and backgrounds and foliage most particularly, but it is something I want to get better at should no one else offer to do it for me.

But yeah I think the colors and tones are a bit unpolished and perhaps stand out way more than they should. :/

But that's just my own inner critique.

What are your thoughts?
