Some museum sketches from earlier this year. The mastodon only had one tusk, so it looks kinda weird.

elephants again
Some unused designs for a new portfolio I'm working on...its hard to draw elephants different each time. Even though I draw them a lot, I spend the most time on them compared to other animals to get new shapes and looks.

model making + AMNH
I'm trying to sculpt from memory and see how accurate I can make this model. Right now its in the early stages with only one half roughed out. Its a 1/27th scale model of a female African elephant.
Some inspiring old pictures from the American Museum of Natural History (NYC).
Visit their picture archives, so many good photos--->HERE

moose
Moose designs from an old project. He didn't talk so I wanted to make him like a mime, with those black marks around his eyes.

Zbrush is fun!
Here's my first rough attempt at using Zbrush....trying to make a photo real Asian elephant. (its not done yet...needs more sculpting)
I made the top model in MAYA , then I morphed and pulled it in Zbrush to form a realistic looking elephant. Zbrush is so powerful and easy to use, its just like sculpting with digital clay.

Painting elephant
Asian elephant trained to paint...........elephants!
Since the logging ban of 1989, many elephants have found work in tourist centres doing tricks to earn money. Profits from these centres help fund conservation for wild and captive elephants in Asia.

war...
During WWI, Germany used elephants from Hamburg zoo to transport machinery and haul logs used for building their trenches.
The Japanese army also used elephants to transport supplies and artillery in the Burmese jungles during WWII.
