Hey, Bass...yeah, it's me. Y'know--that guy who loves your work a whole lot and oftentimes shows it through (usually lengthy yet totally sincere) commentary? Cool.

So yeah, this is EXACTLY how I needed to start my morning: with a portrait drawn by none other than yourself. I'm joyously impressed (surprised?) by what I see, of course! Though honestly, I forgot you had this character; so I'm glad you managed to strum'im up on the ol' canvas again: the result?--I love this mellow megaton mammal even more! :D

Now that I've been reintroduced to this character, lemme tell ya: elephants are hard to render as anthros. Oh it's been done plenty of times around here...well too, but your work adds a bit more to anthros; your renditions imbue them with the presence of a human. It's no wonder your character Alice looks so natural amidst your Animal Kingdom gang!

It's as if you didn't just create these characters from thin air; there's always more to it with you. You, sir, have to start with a human as a base...and apply the necessary features to make them an anthro. What I adore most about this fellow here is his hair. It looks natural! I almost think I can see the human under this elephant guise! And your "proportions suck," you say? Hardly! If they did, I wouldn't be so happily taken aback by this masterful illusion!

The ears and the head overall are well sized, and don't overtake the design like a lot of other elephant anthro renditions do--making them seem too unrealistic or toony. His smile maintains the lip structure of an actual elephant, instead of altering the lines to better fit a style that wants to warp reality (not that doing so is bad, mind you--it's all about what the artist feels). And...I'll stop now. ^^;

Great job once again, Bass, seriously. ^^


P.S. (I once again...love the garments you choose for your characters.)

Nice one, Bassie.

Lots of personality in this picture.
