IF: Zoo #2-The Elephant Train


I did the sketch for this one last week, but then the fun train soon derailed and I started to make brooches instead of doing the illustration... What can I say, it's too much fun. Oh well, here it is, the original illustration intended for this week's topic.

  5. Those are some cutie animals! It reminds me of the "old lady who swallowed the fly" since they look like they are inside the elephant.

  9. It's nice to find a train that's extra roomy. It's all in the big caboose.

    Well-done, and cuteness incarnate!
