Heavy hitters

2 Recurring characters in my sketchbook that I decided to scan and throw some color on.

They were some of the biggest mammals to walk the earth, and lived until just a few thousand years ago.

Paleolithic (forgive me for misusing the term) creatures are awesome. Especially in your style. These too are especially sweet!

Thanks. There are more I may scan and color if people like them enough.

Just looking at the sloths feet makes me wonder what the anatomy is behind his standing posture and walking

The claws are so damn big they have to walk on their feet sideways. o-o

It could be better, but they are fun to work with. :]

Very VERY nice ^^

The Giant Sloth looks especially imposing and powerful, while the mammoth, despite her obvious size, has a more 'cute' look to her...

+Fave ^^

These are absolutely FAB! And pachyderm-type critters are so hard to anthropomorphise, but you did a great job!

Man, I remember seeing the ground sloth skeleton at the Smithsonian a few years ago. You could literally build a house from its ribcage. Freaking amazing, and fun to see as an anthro.

I saw the skeletons of both in the local museum, and have always liked these two species since I was a kid. Massive indeed.

Nice mammoth. I was born in a big mammoth, sloth, and sabre-tooth tiger haven. http://www.westerncentermuseum.org/

I always wonder about the stuff other artists do that they never put online... i'm glad you got around to doing these two, fantastic work and excellent choices of species as always. Megatherium is one of my favorite species <3

Wonderful design for the sloth, though. He looks all tuff.

You make me wanna draw more of my Pangolin.

I don't think I've seen anyone do an elephant or mammoth for that matter that I've found believable looking yet, good job on that one! Also Zultan should join kerric, then they'd never run out of pointy things >.o;

Yesss, I have lots of sketches of her, kinda like a sketchbook mascot xD. She deserves more art so I hope to have something up soon. That species of mammoth had the biggest tusks of anything that ever lived. :D

MinnieShoof ~minnieshoof

... one of these days, I should stop making Minnie's tusk appear and disappear on a whim. You would think it would make kissing awkward.

But that sounds more fun xD. Spessartine doesn't mind having a huge built in forklift at her disposal, though she must be an expert at navigating doorways and other close confines.
