Description Elephant Seal as Totem

Another request.

This guy was pretty challenging, since I didn't want him to have an easy feel or energy (you ever gone up against a big, male seal? Those guys do not want to play nice).

18.5 x 20.5cm (or 7.4 x 8 in)
illo's board, fineliner, aquarelle, pencil, metallic paint

That is pretty nifty! I love E-seals!
And I really like the design you used in the background.

This has got to be one of my new favorites from you. I said to myself "Bull Seal"? They are such weird-looking creatures (to me at least). And when I come to look he's just like "roar!" I certainly wouldn't want to come up against this guy. I imagine its such a strong energy though. Any sea mammal like this would be.

Nice work as usual and no I would not like to tangle with one of these guys at all.

No, me either. Actually, there are a lot of animals I wouldn't tangle with if they had their mouths open like that. Lol.

Wow, now that's a totem animal nobody would want to mess with (although I have no idea how one would mess with a totem in that sense). You've done a great job shading the blubbery fat sack thing on his nose, and the position of the balck stripe emphasises the wide open mouth.

thank you! And yeah, I wouldn't go near one of these guys AT ALL. Lol. I think I'd be more like 'weird nose, angry animal, RUN AWAY!'
