Featured: Carving into skill just seems to be a natural progression of how jewelry (beads) and other forms of decoration started. You have taken carving bone to a new level. The detail you use doesn't demean the image of the subject but it makes the animal seam more mysterious and a symbol of power. Fantastic work, i can't wait to see more!

Kibalove333 [2010-10-20 17:58:43 +0000 UTC]

Are you planning on doing more skull carving, if so, would you do commisions of it? I'm just curious, and what might be the price range of one similar to this?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

DonSimpson In reply to Kibalove333 [2010-10-20 19:54:08 +0000 UTC]

Yes, and yes. But I ask that price inquiries be done by Note, because deviantART makes keeping and filing Notes easy, and tracking comments difficult.

Very cool carving!!! I'm painting an entire cat skeleton right now, somewhat similar. The cat will be much more brightly colored and Mexican inspired though.

really great work -
I appreciate and admire the sensitivity
how You accompany Your part with te given bone structure
and I even feel led to the assumption that You experienced some kind
of encounter with the animalΒ΄s spirit
