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…

What this horrid sight?! Poor Elphie. Frankenstein looks HANDSOME compared to your monstrosity…
*tries to go back in time and choose not to view post*
Actually it isnt bad at all! I like it! Cute Elphie
Oh poor elphie, you’ve mutated him!
*goes to call animal rights*
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.
Elphie is supposed to be sthg cute! What the hell is this?
This thing you created is hideous!
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
… hehehehe…
I thought you would start by making a moogle though.
Someday KJ, say around the 24th century, this “thing” will be worth lots of money.
man i like it .. it’s very dorm room-ish
Kinan - As the one who named this abomination, you are condemned to share the parenthood of it
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
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

i cant do anythng atistic to save my own life!
word of advice. don’t quit your day job
eshda3wa - yay! Support!
Zed - O__________________________O
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. :/
I want it!!!!
Well well. Thanks for taking my once semi-original name and whacking it on a retardedly painted elephant.
Only kidding, but yes my real name is: “Elphie”.
Check out http://www.conclavecreations.com for semi-proof (not much on the net is real or taken as such).
ojmodmaniac - LooooL. Well I guess you have some competition now buddy!
