#white rhino

[rinusuarez]

Hello! I'm so proud to finally present you the artwork with all the Perissodactyla order including its subspecies (Rhinos, Tapirs, and Horses). Took me more than a year to finish but I am really happy with the result. The artwork includes the common name, its Latin name, and its conservation status. 46 animals in total of which 10 are sadly already extinct.

Thank you for your support!

Animal of the Day!

Western Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis longipes)

(Photo from Save the Rhino International)

Extinction Date- 2011

Habitat- Western and central Africa

Size (Weight/Length)- 1,400 kg; 3.75 m

Diet- Leaves; Branches; Shrubs; Grasses

Cool Facts- The western black rhinoceros was specially adapted to the dry shrubland of western Africa. Their upper lip was prehensile and allowed for careful manipulation of thorny bushes to eat the leaves. Their dark skin was highly susceptible for sunburn, often resulting in mud stained rhinos. Protection was originally strong for the western black rhinoceros, leading to an increased population in the 1930s. As these protections loosened, poachers killed the rhinos in their thousands for their horns that were, and still are, falsely believed to have medicinal purposes. By 2000, only 10 rhinos survived and the last one was spotted in 2006. Today, African rhinos are the second most poached animal in the world. National parks with armed guards are working to protect the remaining black and white rhinoceros that still roam savannahs today.

Rating- 13/10 (Their horns could measure 1.5 meters long.)

White rhino! The second largest land animal after the elephant, at up to 5000lbs! White and black rhinos are both grey-ish, but can be distinguished by their lips - white rhinos have a squarish upper lip while black rhinos have a distinctively pointed upper lip.

For the past two years, I've been illustrating every mammal on our planet. I've completed over 200 animals and now plan to create a book. In the book, I researched interesting facts about each animal, (Where they live, conservation status, evolutive paths, curiosities, etc). To fund this project, I've established a monthly club offering various ways for people to support my work. One option is receiving monthly book updates in PDF format. This month's feature, for example, is the White Rhinoceros, and the book uniquely covers its subspecies, setting it apart from others. There are more things than the book updates (There are actually a lot of things). If you feel that this speaks to you check out the club options by clicking here Giving a like and sharing this post is also very helpful. Thanks all for the attention and see you soon.

Aaand done! This one was a bit trickier, but fun. I learned many a thing about making materials in Blender, and that my graphics card (GTX 960M) is not to be trusted. Maybe back to drawing for a while though, I'm pretty tired from all this lol
