Amazing textures and earthy tones, but I can't figure out if this is 2 elephants trying to be 1 or one standing behind the other ? As the double tusks and the light and shade on the heads don't seem to match up, even though you have made a very interesting scene and kool postwork painting of those giants ! LOL & ~Cheers~

Omg, I love this! The skin and eyes are so perfect. I collect elephants and have about 300 figurines from all over the world but many are handcarved from Africa. Elephants are so loayl to family and herd. Awesome work!

You know I've always admired your skill with capturing the essence of the animals in your projects. This is no different. Is his tusk actually penetrating his trunk? Looks painful.

Forevernyt - No, one elephant is standing behind the other. I know that tusk looks kind of strange, but that's the exact picture and I thought it was kind of interesting. CC
