Well... whoever told those orks that enraging that oliphant was agood idea had a very strange sense of humor.
I am very impressed by the angry look on that big ones face - you really caught that well. And you did a good job on the motion here - one can almost feel the ground shaking!
Nice one 2

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Glad you like it! I love the poem, where the oliphaunt is depicted as a sort of bully of the animal kingdom. "Here I come and I don’t care who I step on!""

Sometimes simplicity is the best. I wish my paintings could be so ’simple.’ 12

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "When you do a painting (and you will recognize this) you almost always wish it could’ve been better. So I’m glad I managed to reach out and touch you with my oliphaunt 2"

Cyooooot! I like the facial expression!

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Thanks! He’s just fed up with all the silly orcs."

Lol!!! I love the orks’ faces!!!

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Even orcs can’t keep up their tough demeanour when chased by an oliphaunt!"

Excellent! I really love this one.

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Thanks! I really like the poem."

Beautiful, however I can’t help thinking how much more he looks like a mammoth than an elephant. Maybe that’s why he’s an Oliphaunt.

:-) Richard Svensson replies: "Yep, his look is inspired by Mammuthus imperator and other giants."
