I had a very simplistic sketch of giraffes and elephants as silhouettes but in my mind I visualized them becoming more of a tribute to Egyptian hieroglyphics(I would have added more style and age in the next step;this was the stage where I make sure the line work and proportions are working). I thought it would be quirky enough to play out but I ran into difficulty figuring out what third animal would be strong enough to be compatible with the giraffes and elephants. I was pulled toward the zebra but as you can see (above at the bottom) I had to render the zebras as realistic and then simplify to get them to work with the giraffes and elephants. While the three at the top are passable, I am not a fan of how they turned out. This is a good example of something I would start, trouble shoot and then set aside for a rainy day when I cannot concentrate on something new and just want to play. It is safe to say that I do not see these as exciting and will sit on them for a while.
