Description Edit: Been meaning to go back and fix the lighting/ambience in this image, it only took a pandemic!

That feel when you’re the ‘city man’ and you take the three best trappers out only to have them be pet by curious woolies. 

The mammoth of Aldros are pretty fearless, being as large as they are they have very few natural predators, especially in the lost plains. Gotta pet them little things that come through here now and then! 
The lot on the rock are Tain, Kotsu and Fog. Yes, his Fog's father is terrible at naming his children. Aust up front, trying to get crap done, as per-usual. 

This was fun to paint up, I feel like my tones are a little off but I'm done picking at it for now! I have a version without the text, I'm not sure which I like better.
The contrast looks extremely harsh on my phone - please let me know if it's the same for you guys, my monitor might need a tweak. 

Thanks for looking!

Done! Fini! Never again!
Fixed the file size a little, I think!

I have SO many problems with this picture.

Firstly, the elephants. They're nowhere near elephanty enough. They need to be at least 20% elephantier.

Secondly, the beards. You need to understand people come to your page for beards, and the beards in this piece are almost all letdowns. Only one decent beard! More beards.

The beards should be elephant sized, and the elephants should also have beards. Fix it please!

How dare - these elephants are 98% elephanty at the very least! 

Your beard point is valid, in future I shall endeavour to make all of my beards as impressive as your beard, for yours is long and lustrous - especially for a woman! 

I shall fix!

Brush off the loose fur to weave into your clothing, maybe drink the cow's milk and make cheese from it.  Would be hard put to slaughter one for the meat though.

Well not personally, but a far as the world goes I agree with the rest!

Well, you would have to milk one like a cow.

Maybe, maybe not, I can't imagine people milking an elephant - actually they'd have to be pretty tall wouldn't they! Making clothes out of their discarded fur is a really neat idea though!

cullyferg2010 In reply to Rasa88 [2020-02-25 15:03:24 +0000 UTC]

Shouldn't be too difficult to milk an elephant.  As the song goes, "The corn is as high as an elephant's eye", when that organ is only just 6 feet off the ground.  Just gotta make sure you don't have cold hands and don't pull too hard!

I've never heard of that song! Still I can't imagine it would be something they would do - interesting ideas though, the fur for sure could be possibility, picking up shed fur from the plains too!

The song is from the Roger and Hammerstein musical play, 'Oklahoma'.  Sorry that I didn't reference that in the first place.

Maybe the woolies will have grown accustomed to being groomed on occasions for their loose fur.

Le gasp, one does not slaughter a woolie! But I agree with the rest haha

cullyferg2010 In reply to Rasa88 [2020-02-23 23:26:01 +0000 UTC]

I agree, if there are no other meat sources around.  But suspect there would be some form of deer or elk close at hand.

my god now i can fully understand why you were having the pain of taking all year to make this LMFAO
my god there are so many bodies and details in this dfjiuyewr
I'd say the tones in this look fine and very realistic X"D if you're worried about shading
id say not much a problem there sense if there was any heavier shading it'd probably
hide a lot of the image X"D also really random note, I honestly never noticed their toes
thats intriguing and a neat type of shoe lmfao. also i think the lill speech addition is noice, it adds a bit
of story and character, got a giggle out of me

Yassssssssss - pro tip to self, never again! It took so long Jazzi, I'm not sure I have tendons in my wrist anymore... 
I'm glad it looks alright! Yeah! Heavy shading in general frightens me, one day I'll have to attempt it - just need me some of that harsh lighting! But I agree, it would squash out most of the details I tried to add! 
Haha yasss they have strange pheets, they're related to my worlds Trolls (which I don't think I've posed yet?) so I had to keep a feature or two from them, the shoes were fun xD Ruik like to have some part of their food bare as a traditional sort of thing, most Ruik don't remember why - but the Uru do... dun dun duuuuunnnnn  
Eet made a geegle?? Mission complete! Thanks Jazzi!

you know, I've heard elephants on preserves actually do this sort of thing? New humans show up, and they respond like people who've gone to a party and discover there's a CAT; "Ooh! wook at da pweshush!"

That's adorable haha! (I'm that person... party? Nah. Cat? CAT!) I'm sure I've read somewhere that they think we're cute - in the same way we find baby animals cute?
