Description
This was my first mammoth paleo artwork, though this really started with a quick view I got of the head statues (moai) of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) while watching television one day. I liked the idea of the monumental stones lining a grassy hillside. So I decided to create a similar image. However, I wanted a more natural look, so I used standing stones. The stones look like they were artificially placed, but weather on not that is the case is unclear. I got the idea that they may have, in fact, been purposefully placed, but rather than by a human, an animal, and the only such animal with the strength to do so would have to be huge. Hence, enter the woolly mammoth.
