Elephant Ink and Watercolor

[PICASO41]

Greets all

I've been muddling over this one for awhile.

I originally had this as a anti-poaching poster with gallons of blood all over the place, even on the tusks.

I placed it in the After 9 forum because of the nature but then i pulled it.
It just didn't sit well with me i guess.

So i re-worked it as a ink and watercolor sketch with a gloop pen border.
Now i can sleep better

Enjoy

This is just remarkable and beautiful, Mike. I am so glad that you've reworked this and have removed the blood. I am along with you and despise poaching of wild animals. You did the beauty of this beast justice by painting it in this light and so wonderfully at that!
