Nobel

The Bernese Mountain Dog; never been around one but I have always loved how they are portrayed in books. Big, loveable, fluffy beasts :3
I have never owned a dog, but I have visited many, this is just a breed I find visually pleasing.

This was done for a local art show back in July; he didn't sell so he is back with me.

      Thank you :3
      Scratchboard is one of my favorite media to work with. I love doing the tiny details.

    Excellent work. I've known quite a few from the dog park. They are gentle lovable giants, you captured that spirit wonderfully.

      Thank you.
      And I am glad! We don't seem to have any in my area (thankfully though, it is far too hot for them here)

    This is absolutely beautiful, I'm surprised it didn't sell! My roommate had one of these dogs, they shed a lot but they're total sweethearts. uvu

      Thank you kindly :3
      I have found while needed, up charging for gallery commission is a royal pain in the rump.

      All I have read about them says they are super sweet (and hairy and drooly)

        No problem c: And ahh, yeah that's understandable. uvu It's very true (they do drool quite a bit sometimes, yeah :c)!
