Description
A new technique that I've been exploring! Markers, paint, ink and semi-precious stones on a Decoratively Cut Wood Block. I love this new look.. I'm working on a set of various creatures like this for the upcoming AnthroCon.

Whatever combination of markers, paint, and ink this is, it all blends together seamlessly. It almost looks like it was done digitally.

Reminds me vaguely of Kyoht's work... lovely new style. Very creative!

Probably cause there is a coyote in it. People see Coyote in a native american setting and immediately think "Kyoht", even though the styles are completely different. Utah has a way of getting people to make southwest art though. Something about the intense red rocks here. Since I'm living in the same town as her now for a while, I see exactly where she draws her inspiration.
As for the inking/drawing style, I've had this style for years, but never tried it on Wood, and didn't use it on paper much (since my sensual work always sold much better).

I hear you on the whole 'didn't use my nifty style cause sensual sells better' thing.
I didn't know you lived in the same town as her! What a lucky town :3 And I know your styles are totally different, I was referring to the subject matter. It's interesting to see similar concepts pulled off successfully in totally different styles, don't you think?

I really like the way that came out. That style has always been one of my favorites. I do look forward to seeing more like this from you.

There's something african in it, can't help myself. :] It's really nice looking technique, I can imagine the picture hanging somewhere, perhaps in the kitchen or in the living room, it's somehow warming.

I love this, the colouring style is absolutely gorgeous, all big and bold and "LOOK AT ME!"-like. I like his pose and expression as well, he almost reeks of up-to-no-good..

After being gone from here for so long, I get greeted with a picture like this? Thank all the stars in Heaven for artists as good as you! When is Anthrocon, anyways?

Oh, very cool! Lookin' awsome, Xian! Great use of the media. It's nice to see artists who use the base of their works as part of the work. Sometimes the paper/board/canvas/etc of the piece is completely forgotten in the work. :>

Wow! Good work here! I wonder if he's making the potion for some sort of ritual, or just for fun. Or is there some other special purpose?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Very very cool. Things like this are always so impressive in person and make such a strong impression at a convention! Hope to see it there :3
May I ask what kind of markers you use on the wood? Also what kind of wood are you using and whats the thickness? I totally picture this on like really thick Redwood haha. Like 2 to 3 inches thick ya know?
Anyway, cool style and cool idea here. I look forward to more! :3

I use Prismacolor markers, + Paint pens. The wood is pressed synthetic, I believe, and it's roughly 3/4" thick with decrative grooves cut into it. I should have mentioned the dimensions.. these are actually very small pieces! Only about 7" tall by about 5" wide or so. But the effect is so cool. This one was at Califur.. if you had wandered into the art show, you may have seen it. (Although, if you didn't get to the art show, you missed it)

I was only able to be there at the con for a bit, which sucked... I missed out on a lot
