Work in Progress: "The Vigil"

I've gotten a lot more done on my elephant piece today and hope to finish it up sometime tomorrow. So here are some in progress shots as of late afternoon. When I post up pictures of the final artwork I'll talk a little more about the symbolism and meaning going on behind the images.
