Okay, so it's hard to even tell what's going on.
But fun, so far!

Logging the Plantation (working title).

Oh!! I love elephants!!! <3

[moonvoice]

I don't really have much to do with elephants, but I know they are naturally designed to destroy and pull trees up by the roots; so I decided to take it further.

Woooow. I adore the composition for this one.

[moonvoice]

Thanks! I rarely work in landscape, but I'm looking forward to revisiting it!

[ariestess]

Oh, how interesting! Is this for the steampunk exhibition?

[moonvoice]

Sure is! :D

*admires elephant*
*sees little dude in corner*
*jawdrop*

That's a big fellow!

This looks really cool so far. :D

Mammoths, Maybe?

[perzephone]

That's what I was thinking when I saw this... 'those are some big damned elephants!'

[moonvoice]

Hee, little person in the corner! I wanted to give it a greater sense of 'insane' scale - kind of like how The Sea Shepherd has a tiny little steamer in the middle, and most people don't notice it until they look really closely and then suddenly 'giant squid' becomes 'ZOMG THAT SQUID IS ENORMOUS.'

I've always loved the idea of mega-mega-fauna anyway.

[redsixwing]

I'm with you there, I've been drawing massively, impossibly huge creatures since ever. *s*

It took the little person, and comparing zir to the elephant's leg, to realize that the howdah on its back is the size of a house. o.o

I like the Sea Shepherd for the same reason - I didn't pick the steamer up at first, and then when I did, the shell made so much more sense!

[paleo]

Most interesting! Is there a story behind it?

[moonvoice]

There's a story behind all the pieces for the Future Imperfect exhibition; but I haven't been explaining them, leaving them up to people's imaginations. The basis, or my brief though, was the illustrate augmented animals in a future where they are only permitted to exist if they can somehow be harnessed for our benefit.

[spider_fox]

It'd be funny if you kept the text in the final piece XD

[moonvoice]

Oh man, that'd be awesome. 'Black-bronze here / spirals here / put the thingie over there.' I've been writing notes on my pieces for ages. Lol.

[mirrorred_star]

Whoa! That's so cool!
