Description
By the light of the full moon, solders twisted into lycanthropic dogs of war hunt darkened marshes, unaware that they, in turn, were being hunted. As one strays from the pack, the feral hero known only as Rowr pounces.A commission featuring the tigress, Rowr, created by *Rowrsie .
In this piece, I pushed my now usual method a touch further by incorporated in some gray scaled india ink markers into the mix to help with the shading and to help darken in the shadow patches of the work. i have to say, i wish i had worked in the markers in some of my earlier works as i really like what they did for the piece. You can definitely expect more of that in the future
Medium: watercolor, colored pencil, and india ink on 300lbs hot pressed watercolor paper.

Thanks! I really enjoyed creating him... I didn't think the patchy fur would turn out nearly as good as it did.

Love this one for the details in the "man-wolf", great action as always, and of course that signature "tells a story" Graver style!
(I see you've been busy...)

this is awsome

Thanks! And, ya, this has to be the most blue in one of my watercolors ever! Part of it is the ink markers I have started working into my pieces. Expect more like this in the future!

Thank you... I almost went a different not so good direction with those branches. Thanks to Starcham, who suggested making those branches the way they are, they are... um... the way they are

Very nice work. Nobody does watercolor like you do Graver, your style always amazes me.

Thank you! Though, to be honest, i don't know if I can really what I do watercoloring any longer as I've used so many other things to get that look, i guess I need to start posting my work to mixed media. Hell, i don't even know if it's painting any more

The colored pencils alone wouldn't qualify it to mixed media in my view. Half the colored pencils out there are the "watercolor" variety anyway.
The grey-scale underpainting might put it into the mixed category however, I dont' know. I've done a few colored pencil paintings with Prismacolor marker underpaintings, and do call them mixed, but then marker adds so much more to pencil than they would to a watercolor.
Bottom line... whatever the hell it is - you're the master!

Thanks!
Ya, it's hard to tell what's mixed and not, but now that i have 3 different mediums going at once and the watercolor part of the mix is pretty much just a third of all that goes into it instead of being the dominant medium as in my earlier works, that constitutes mixed

Pretty slick. The dropped Luger is a nice touch (take that, Nazi lycanthropes!) and those shadows have some real menace!

Thank you very much! And yay, you made the Nazi connection!

Very nice, as was stated earlier, really well framed and staged.
I particularly like the nice spooky touch of the faces in the trees.

This is one great piece Graver! Really impressed man. I love Rowr's ankle bracelet and the nice touch created by the fog around the wolf's feet.
Really nice.
