Don't know about the others, but for me it's not that much about the paw, but the bulging ''bicep'' sticking out of the leg that bugs my brain.
One of my favorite part is probably the elephant left ear's shading on the body.

T.K.C.Now that's a bulging bicep. It might even be THE bulging bicep he inspired himself from.

It would seem to be the mirror image of the lion Josh painted right down to the bloody paw detail. Nice find.

It is a nice find indeed. Good job dank.
I don't want to sound too negative, dude's obviously a king here and is to EB what the lion is to the jungle, but generally speaking (can't confirm it is the case here), I'm always a bit disappointed when a quick google search seems easy enough for members to find original material artists got their direct inspiration from. I got that naive part in me that wants to believe they paint directly out of their head or at least from an image they found in an old impossible to find book. I have something against how easy it is and how adulterated it is to create art that was lead by a search engine, how beautiful it can be. It happens too often.

How is this at all like direct inspiration? If there was a procession of circus animals on google then maybe I could see it being inspirational but this? No way.tranito wrote:It is a nice find indeed. Good job dank.

I know he uses pictures and models to get dimensions/proportions right on the animals which I'm glad he does. I wouldn't want the elephants ears to be to small or the trunk to big because he tried to do it from memory.
reminder: ink on paper
All I meant by direct inspiration, is the process of getting an image somewhere to reproduce what you see on it (in whole or in part) and include that as a part of a painting. I didn't mean the whole concept and idea behind it, his artistic approach, which you seem to be referring to.
