This is incredible!
I love the concept.
The coloring is very lush and has a great texture to it, and I love the depth that the shading adds to it.
I love the face the most, you did great on it, wonderful eyes and ears.
I really love all the detailing like his markings, the patterns on his outfit and the jars, and the background work.

I remember that I'd made it after finding my woodburning stylus, which I've already misplaced :P
Woodburning is fun, and totally inexpensive, you should try it!

That sounds great, is it difficult to work with?
I'm going to look into woodburning.

You can do anything on wood that you can do on paper.

I could give you a two hour presentation on woodburning but the short form is that
you should work very, very slowly and deliberately or you will hurt yourself. I find it
meditative. If you have to force the stylus, you are moving too fast, it will glide on
its own. Also, you should try to always be pulling the tip, not pushing it. Pushing it
will encourage it to dig into the wood and skip out, causing an accident.

The rest you can figure out :) Or if you're local to Boston, I could show you, etc.

Try it! Do it!

I like his stance. Very natural, personality-filled.

interesting that he has a halo :3

I absolutely adore your paint work.

his left hand makes me melt some

I learned how to draw hands from you :)

Thank you so much(!)

i love the idea of plywood as a canvas, great job!

The plywood adds nice texture to this pic. Did you do the hatch-shading with pyrography? If so, I'm ridiculously impressed!

I'm thinking I need to make it out to AC one year. You've got a lot of pieces that I'd be very interested in purchasing, this one for example. Do you ever make it to any west coast cons?

I like the parted snout, and the general shape of the head and neck. Also it's nice to see men in skirts. There isn't enough of that around today, unfortunately. Stupid social conventions.

apparently they've stopped calling them wild dogs in africa... from what i heard on my trip they're called african painted hunting dogs.
very nice, as always :)

beautifull work as always mr. i especial like your pointy ellipses. keep up the good work.

Plywood. Interesting. I can just sortof make out its grain/texture of the ply. Nicely done.

Lovely patterns on the skirt/cloth thing! The hairs on his chest look very real. He looks like a saint.

Nice! love the colors used.

Nicely done.
Love the texturing and the handsome body.

i admire/envy your usage of color. In my hands the very same colors would come out garish, but in yours they came out masterfully.

Love the details and how the wood grain realy added to this!
