I decided to try and match aspects of the donkey carving in case I decided to use the two images together in the future. I included the head and a small portion of the chest. The trunk is essential to include,, in its entirety, followed by the ears. Dave and I debated about the degree of wrinkliness the skin should reveal, as well. I went for the well-weathered elephant look.

Perhaps I kept thinking about the political uses possible in the future. Since a presidential candidate must be at least 45 years of age, I didn't want to create a youthful creature.

Now, picture Donald Trump hair and once again the elephant has be NASTized (no, not nastyized - well, I guess it depends on your view of DT.)
