Elphie the Abomination

OK I have to admit that this is the very first time I ever paint using brushes and pastes. I have never painted before on cloth or any other material, let alone ceramic.

The only thing I did was draw and color in pencils but my skills were lost after grade 6.

As an attempt to revive my artistic attributes, I joined deviantART and I have attempted in my account there to draw digitally. Failing miserably, I switched to photography.

Of course, all of this does not justify what I have done to the poor ceramic elephant. I wanted to make a royal Indian type of war elephant. Unfortunately, little did I know that the intricate details I sketched in pencil do not translate at all in pastes, brushes and ceramics.

However I have to say I enjoyed all three hours in creating this monstrosity. I learned different types of strokes, how to coat and how to make special effects, which I notoriously used to give this thing skin cancer.

So please say hello to my war-elephant-with-skin-cancer-abomination thing, Elphie (thanks to KI for the name).

You are allowed to use Elphie to promote skin cancer awareness as long as you link back here ;)

So without further ado…

    Well well. Thanks for taking my once semi-original name and whacking it on a retardedly painted elephant. :P


    Only kidding, but yes my real name is: "Elphie".



    Check out www.conclavecreations.com for semi-proof (not much on the net is real or taken as such).

    Not bad for a first try. But to be honest and straight forward, you have better chances in digital art than traditional art. Digital art forgives you if you mistake, unlike traditional art. :/

    Kinan - As the one who named this abomination, you are condemned to share the parenthood of it :P You'd gonna need a lot of HCL in the coming years.


    Observer - who are you kidding here? I can see your tongue sticking out.



    Ms Loala - and bring in the psychiatry ward as well.



    Hamza - It is a stupid name because stupid KI picked it.



    Elijah - Yes see I try to mask my hideousness with cutesy stuff that makes Elphie irresistible



    7aki - I am sure she does. She probably could teach me some stuff :D I was under a lot of peer pressure though at that time. hehe.. oh and they didn't have moogles or rabbits.



    abufares - I can hear your chuckle behind the words, but, if what you say does become true, you are entitled to 30% profit.



    Jundi - thanks! I should make you one... pick a sorry animal and leave it all to me

    Someday KJ, say around the 24th century, this "thing" will be worth lots of money.
  • 7aki Fadi
    hmmmmmm ..... should I be mean or should I be nice ? Hmmmmm ... mean is so much more fun.


    HAHAHAHAHA at elphie, my daughter would have done better :P ... hehehehe...

    I thought you would start by making a moogle though.
  • Elijah
    Elphie is supposed to be sthg cute! What the hell is this?


    This thing you created is hideous!
  • Hamza
    Its ok for a first attempt. Of course I am ignoring the fact that it is an eyeless creature and that the 2nd picture can be used in the next screening of SAW IV.


    but Elphie? what kind of a stupid name is that? its a cute name that doesn't suit this elephant. You should have chosen a name like "Maharat" or something like that.
  • Ms Loala
    Oh poor elphie, you've mutated him!


    *goes to call animal rights*
  • The Observer
    Actually it isnt bad at all! I like it! Cute Elphie :P
