"The Spirits of the Plains"

On a dark cloudy day in the American Wild West, you find you self climbing a hill in the grass covered plains. As you approach the crest of the hill a trio of majestic animals appears out of nowhere: A huge white buffalo stands atop a pile of rocks staring down at you. In front of him stand two more brown buffalo who appear to be acting as his guards.

This was actually a bit of a re-do of an artwork I made nine years prior called "Bison King" (https://daniel-eskridge.pixels.com/featured/bison-king-daniel-eskridge.html). I wanted to see how style and techniques had changed over the years. Also, as the Summer Olympics were going on when I made this, I had the idea to set the composition up for the three bison in a manner similar to the way Olympic medals are presented on three platforms.

Thanks for looking!
