Description
I did this illustration for an electronic artist (called Elliphant, but not the famous one!)The brief went something like: "an elephant, but zany, and with galaxies!" Haha, I was totally there. Always down for a surreal elephant. I classed it as digital because of the textures/colours, but it's essentially just an ink drawing. I always liked the weird notions of giant animals in space, like in the Discworld book series. So I was inspired by that as well as Dali's surreal long-legged elephants. I tried to give it a sense of spiritual or cosmic importance through it being so huge and in the centre of this galaxy, with everything spiralling in sync with its form.
Anyway, hope you like it!

Haha, a great compliment! But I could never do it...I'm too much of a perfectionist, even with things that don't really matter or aren't permanent - with a tattoo I would be looking at it every day going "that line..is not straight". Lol.

Thanks! Yes some people have said that, it would be hard to place it somewhere though..it kind of needs to be boxed in I think.
