Commission for someone I know irl.
I’ve only drawn an elephant once ever prior to this, so this is a huge improvement in comparison. I pretty much had free reign over the entirety of the design, but was able to squeeze out some details as to what my friend likes. This is vastly smaller than the final piece since my friend plans to print this out.
I went with some koi inspired markings, as well as china designs on the nails and tusks. My friend likes lilies so there’s that for the background. This was a fun piece to work on!
