Oh, and some Mormon artists struggle with the Garment hemlines. Rightfully so.

Moroni sort of looks like one of those terrorists on the web that beheads their hapless victims.
Of course, I guess Laban "had it coming" to him. If only the voice in our head could be used to rationalize murder. Our prisons would empty out.

That tapir looks awfully big. I thought they were only about 3 feet tall.

That's true. I was covering up a big horse and didn't want to draw too much more jungle. If it helps you suspend your disbelief, just keep in mind that Captain Moroni is mostly Asian.

ETA: I personally took the photo of the tapir in that image at a zoo. The enclosure, which held three of those mighty beasts, had a wall only 2.5 feet tall. Not a difficult animal to contain. Docile and unathletic.
