Artist's Comments

Another image done in my Black Sketchbook.
I wanted to try my hand at carving out an image as opposed to drawing the image. I love the sketchy-streaky feeling I did it in.

In Aztec myth, the Black Jaguar is as a result of a [Yellow] Jaguar undergoing a massacre/battle. As a result, his skin is drenched in blood, and turns black. Both Jaguar and his brother Ocelot look down upon man with burning eyes. Vengeance, and destruction usually ensue for the injustice both underwent at the hands of man.

A cool thing about this image is that the original has a very surreal effect to it- and from a distance only the eyes of both the characters can be seen (and teeth). The longer one stares at it, the more the picture becomes obscure, but the eye and teeth remain. It almost looks as if the picture begins to move like an animated piece- back and forth- between the two figures:
The Panther is roaring.

Have to agree with ~SilverRacoon, very "WOW!" indeed. :)

I'm always dumbstruck and left in awe by anyone who can reverse their shading process on black paper and have it come out this well. Both characters are extremely well detailed and the visual emotion coming from both is great.

If you smile at me, then I will understand that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language.
