Of course I had to go looking, esp at Indian elephants, and I found a few where the proportions aren't far off BUT not a single photo of an elephant lifting his leg that high and that much forward except when rearing up on its hind legs and waving both front legs. <br /><br />Oh well, I'm glad I view my guys as 'toys' not 'models'! :) Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-5615519532329222802021-09-22T13:01:04.138-03:002021-09-22T13:01:04.138-03:00Something seemed off about the raised right fore l...Something seemed off about the raised right fore leg. Had to look up elephant skeleton to see what was wrong. Elephants walk on their toes, which I knew, but the the wrist joint is wrong. The joint is too high on the leg. The only reason I noticed is that I do imaging of varies types over the last 30 years and while 4 legged mammals are slightly different, we all have the same basic anatomy underneath. Still nicely animated elephant and nicely painted.<br /><br />DougAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-77481600680823714042021-09-22T06:38:38.814-03:002021-09-22T06:38:38.814-03:00I wouldn't want to stand in near it when its g...I wouldn't want to stand in near it when its grumpy.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-6694463009185482512021-09-22T06:36:55.960-03:002021-09-22T06:36:55.960-03:00Hmm, I downed a pint or two at the Elephant & ...Hmm, I downed a pint or two at the Elephant & Castle in Ottawa years ago.
