I wanted to create a more “masculine” still life, but still be a little whimsical, so I used more neutral colors and a sober, business-like background, and then I stuck some crocodiles in the picture! The flat glass bottle was drawn from a real-life tiny liquor bottle that has a stalking leopard etched around the front and wraps around to the back. I looked in my book of National Geographic animal photos, and there on page 3 was the exact stalking leopard, in the correct size to perfectly fit the bottle I had already drawn. That is what I refer to as “kismet.”
