Artist's Comments

The mastodon, being such an amazing animal (that, and the band is awsome), called my attention for a piece in art class. Of course, this is the skeleton of one because I find the form of bones fun to shade. ;) Unfortunately my scanner isn't big enough to handle the full size, but most of it is border anyway. Done in scratchboard.

Nice, Artyr, nice... I particularly like the shading on it. And the perspective is good, too.

nice drawing but dude...that's a mammoth

Mastadon is a giant sloth ancestor.

True, the mammoth and mastodon are similar, but there are key differences that distinguish them. The key feature being that mastodons have straight tusks while mammoths have curved. Plus mastodon sounds cooler than mammoth. ;)

You must be thinking of megatherium or something, not mastodon.

Love the pose :)

It looks like it's alive and actually going somewhere...

And I really like the way it's drawn with the high contrast :)

Thanks! That's how they do it with real fossils, so why not mine? And scratchboard has a way of doing that; the lines are only black and white, no grey.
