Elephant Days


To dream of elephants and be one
To find I am an elephant's son
Protected by my elephant mum.

This is a colour pencil drawing I've manipulated in Photoshop.

I like the texture used for the camouflage background! You could probably find an elephant skin texture in Photoshop and separate elephants. But then the elephant's son wouldn't be so protected.

Hi HellCat.Yes I'm a big fat elephant, that's why I have keyboard problems sometimes because of my elephant hands....-o.

Anonymous, I think you might be right. It would'nt be the same for the elephants themselves even it would be okay for the viewer. Photoshop, it's a jungle in there!..... )

It is a jungle! Have you found AdobeStudio yet?

No I don't think so unless I went in and did'nt see the sign. Playing around with some basic effects, some are good and some a bit gimmicky. And COLOURS. Phwaargh colours. You know your way around in there I imagine?

The sign is online. Way of downloading extra textures etc.

Ah yes, I hide in there ... very deep in the jungle every day. I'm VERY skinny so you won't see me.

Unless you've got a parrot on your head and you're in the monochrome clearing...:::-)
By the way, would you mind awfully if I infected you with The 5?

OH And I like this drawing very much. Do you have photoshop or elements? I have elements and it's enough. But I also have Corel painter and the new MSN Expression (not on sale yet, you can get it on msn, free, but very loooong to download...)

Hi MerlinP.. Yes I imagine most people run away from that! I'm in no hurry. Photoshop 8 is what I have, only used it to get scanned jpg's for the blog until last week. Still very much in novelty phase so will probably be using colour in everything until I calm down....:::-)

MerlinP, I have this late night creative thing that kicks in, but I'd really like to happen a bit earlier so I get more daylight! Don't work until mid day you see.....-)

Anon. Yes actually I am hitting the sack pretty soon. Is it possible you are Piss Eye Chick!

Blogger Anonymous said...

You haven't been to MuseTigerBrooke's blog have you? I passed the infection to Hellcat.

Piss Eye Chick could also be Hellcat.

Ah ha I see almost. But that last sentence scans both ways, and sends my brain into a phase. Looked at MuseTigerBrooke's blog, did "good taste" include me? Ta....-)
