Description Done originally for a class assignment. I got carried away with it because I really liked it. The scanner didn't do it justice - the decorative patterns are painted in metallic gold acrylic paint, but the scanner made it look like doo-doo brown. )=

The theme was "origins/where we come from," and the assignment gave me the image of elephants, who travel great distances back to exact points for mating, during rainy seasons, and even to find the grave site of past members of their family. Then I threw in some people-fetuses to make it all deep and shit. Awww yeah.

EDIT: Download for full-view - the colors look really funky otherwise. O.<

Tools: watercolor pencils, watercolor from le tube, gold metallic and white acrylic paint, Sakura micron ink on cold-press watercolor paper. Three sheets, to be specific, that i had to Photoshop together.

Oh... my... gosh *JUST noticed your new avatar while looking at this supposedly deep and introspective work* Okay, I need the t-shirt of the elephants and, Chiquita, you're paying the hospital bills if I split a side laughing

I AM SO BAFFLED! For some reason or another, your icon on the "origins" deviation shows up as a dancing cat in a suit I'm not crazy, I tell ya'!

B'aaaw thank you, bebe! >3< <333

Aw, really? I love it from the tube (lulz that sounds so weird), though I tend to sometimes use it more opaquely than regular watercolor. XD
