Circus elephants

Description from original post (created 2012-07-27 08:40):

I felt like doing something experimental and fun for this skin (even though the_soup commanded an otter :D ) I wanted to practice gray scale shading - so I picked an elephant (lots of wrinkles). Most of the elephant skins are awkward because they are made with the elephant standing up - so I decided to take a risk and make my elephant standing on all fours. That left the problem with what to do with the "head". So I went for broke and tried "packing a derm" (pachyderm - ha! ha!) into a cube. I wouldn't recommend it - but I am pleased with the result.

Maybe some creative project builder can make a circus so the elephants have a home...
