Javan Rhino - Blog Posts

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.

Instagram Store Indian Javan Rhinoceros Working on this one was very nice. My reference was an old and pixelated black and white photography so I had to figure out textures and colors. Working on these animals awoke my curiosity about them. Am I ever going to see one? What would it be the sensation of it? the feeling of the air around, the smell, its movements. How would I feel around him? I probably would never know because I am almost sure I will never see a Javan Rhinoceros but drawing them somehow pulls me closer to them. I really hope this animal survives extinction, it will be a great defeat to humanity. ____________________________ This animal never did well in zoos and hasn't been in one in more than a century. The oldest one lived to be 20 years while in the wild they can live up to 40 years old. There are registers of 22 Javan Rhinos in zoos but there were probably more because it was commonly confused with the Indian Rhino. The last Javan Rhino in a zoo was in Adelaide, Australia in 1907 and was thought to be an Indian rhino. This subspecies is extinct.

Vietnamese Javan Rhino This one was very fun to do. I had a very low-quality photograph as a reference and I had to invent all the textures and wrinkles and also the color. Very challenging but I'm happy with the result.

There was a very small population of fewer than 12 individuals living in Cat Tien National Park in Vietnam. The last Vietnamese Javan Rhino (a subspecies of the Javan Rhinoceros) was shooted by poachers in 2011 in Vietnam. This animal used to live around very poor populations of villagers that were very hard to convince not to kill them, knowing that its parts could be sold for good money. Let's don't forget that those who decimates the population was mostly European trophy hunters at the beginning of the 20th century.
