Next in the 'My Shadows' series. Not to get all preachy, but I like to think this guy is an ancient elephant spirit come back to make ivory poachers in the world pay for what they do. I'd be a shame to bring this up if I didn't add a link to Save the Elephants - so do consider checking it out : savetheelephants.org/
I might continue the animal-shadows theme for a few more pieces too. I've got some other ideas brewing to include in Volume 2, and skeletons are really interesting to paint. Would love to hear what you think. Cheers guys

Well, this sure looks scary, not as scary as how the live-action Dumbo will look like

Brilliant work! I've always liked macabre new takes on "cute" characters, and your vengeful spirit backstory gives this some real social relevance.

You will believe that a monstrosity could fly!
Or you can find this creature directly under the Monsterhattan Bridge.
Looks great.

If this had been in the Elephant Graveyard instead of hyenas, Simba and Nala never would have gone exploring.
