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.
