An elk strides across a ridge while a pale moon floats above a sky traced with slow swirling lines. The antlers open like branches and the coat is built from fine etched strokes that model the shoulders and flank without heaviness. A small line of firs runs along the base to anchor the scene, and floating dots suggest quiet snow or breath in the night air. The silhouette stays decisive, so the image reads with authority from across the room and remains rewarding up close with subtle grain and tiny cuts.
I shaped this piece around the idea of motion held in calm. The palette is restrained to keep the mood modern, and the winding marks in the sky act like a gentle map of wind and time. Rather than literal realism, the focus is on rhythm and presence so the elk feels emblematic, strong, and grounded.
