Tritherium Concept Sketch

Description

One of my older sketches earmarked for development into some kind of render this year, not sure yet whether I'll be rendering it as a digital painting or a 3D sculpt.

the thought behind this fellow was a kind of 'convergent evolution' idea, something to fit the Giraffe niche (obviously ;)) say 7-10 million years ago. I used an anatomical drawing of a cow, and a dog as reference if I remember correctly. (staying well away from giraffe pics).

I'm pleased with the result overall, it reads as a giraffe to most people, but is anatomically pretty different.

Actually I read it as an indrocotherium, at least as far as the head.:-) Although the rest of the anatomy is still different, as indrocotherium is closer to rhinos. Actually 'giraffe' didn't even come into my head.:-)
