So I tried and failed, but here's an idea of someone to run with: Build a simple front facing mastodon head out of octagons... (I tried with various sized octagons for each of head, ears, trunk, eyes with subtle tonal differences for shading...got too messy though!...maybe I'll try again later in MODO instead of pixelmator...)
@Averly Awesome! Looking forward to seeing what you do...I'm a bit rubbish at this stuff, but here's a second attempt going in a different direction-ish!
@orielle So I tried a thing. It's definitely... something, ha!
Anyone care to expand on this?
@Averly I like it! ;-)
@orielle woo! Now I need a break before I get sucked into the vortex!
On we go...
@orielle Octodon is also it's own animal if you want to incorporate that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octodon
@RebelMoogle Well now I just feel stupid! ;-)
@CobaltVelvet Which Octodon is octodon.social? A mastodon with eight sides/trunks? A South American rodent? Something else?
@CobaltVelvet @RebelMoogle Well I guess I got the wrong end of the stick on that one!
No matter, when I think of the octodon "tribe" my mind doesn't come up with anything logical anyway...if we were to mobilise in force, I think we'd be more like:
@orielle that's an interesting project. I would try that, but I don't have much time now. :/
@orielle Post your sketch! I love this idea, maybe we could collaborate!
@orielle I'll give it a go. Like your ideas!
