Elephant Throne

The idea to create a chubby woman arose when I was browsing CG artworks. The vast majority of artworks are the underdeveloped females - knights, sorceresses, superheroes. I understand this is a matter of fashion these days to draw Japanese hermaphrodites when looking at them one can't figure out if that's a girl under 10 or boy, wearing makeup.
Elephant Throne drawn completely in Adobe Photoshop, no stock used, no overlay textures. Design of the throne came out in the process of creating the painting. Non-explicit version is coming soon to replace one on BGArtworks.com.
Artwork and details are available here.
