pulp hope envy

Okay. I've been reading a lot of paul pope's comics lately. The guy is incredible. So i've been trying to mimic his style a little seeing what i can come up with. Unfortunately I can't whip out stuff out of my head like him. I sat down the other night with some time to kill and whipped out this... not sure what else to do with it. but it was a free hand drawing of an elephant... the photo was cropped odd in the first place. i guess it didn't help when i did too.... Anyways a friend of mine says it looks like a dinosaur... maybe i should change the coloring to a more lizard color to give it that effect... who knows...
