Description
So I'm trying to create some new art for my final year as a participating alumni at the college's annual art sale. This is an in-progress shot of one of them. I enjoy pyrography (woodburning) on its own, as well as used in mixed media, so I figured I'd upload this separately from the final, whenever I'm done with it.This is FAR from being an original idea, but I like virtually all nature based concepts, so I wanted to see what a forest-bearing giant wild boar would look like. Or maybe those are bonsais on his back!
Either way is fine. I would love to see more wild boar in art around these parts (though folks like ~luve make up for some of the absence). Overall the animal is very under-appreciated. I don't understand, they're majestic and intelligent enough. And they're possibly more badass than most of your favorite predators will ever be!If that's not enough: The piglets!
Disclaimer: I love Studio Ghibli's "Princess Mononoke" as much as the next person, but comments along the lines of "OHMUGERD IT REMINDS ME OF PRINCESS MONONOKE!!11!$@!" won't be responded to. Sorry!
Sorry for making commissioners wait. I promise I've been working, even if I keep hitting speed bumps. D:

I adore pigs in all shapes and sizes, but the wild boar is a particularly beautiful animal. Glad to see it getting more love.

If u wanted to do it giant why u did small vegetation under his feets ? Anyway the draw is great !

The trees on his back don't really need to be large, they could very well be bonsai (small) trees. Or the foliage and fungi under his hooves are enormous. In the end, it's not too important.

I like it. And I agree boar are under appreciated.

I really like the visual trope, and this is done particularly well!

I can't say much of what I do is all that original, but sometimes one just wants to draw something visually interesting.

Originality is probably a bit overrated by this point in history - it's certainly beautifully executed.

I've drawn a babyrusa-anthro (still needs to be uploaded) and a critter also based on them...does that count? XP

Babirusa are awesome beasts, so I'll definitely allow it.
