Summary
APokemonfan has carved an incredible rendition of Jolteon out of multiple varieties of wood and shell materials. The creation has drawn praise from thePokemoncommunity for the effort, dedication, and execution of the design.
Pokemonwoodcarvingisn’t a common fanart medium, but it has been gaining some popularity as of late. Carving Pokemon out of wood is something that requires a deft hand and a lot of time, but the results can be incredible, like in this particular case.
Reddit user samheck shared their latest creation, which is a Jolteon made primarily out of wood with additional materials added to give it an extra bit of flare. A video uploaded by the artist demonstrates some of the process they went through. The Jolteon was made out of three blocks of wood, with olive wood making up the majority of its body, while maple wood made up the ruff of the Pokemon. The detail work required to get the shape of Jolteon right is quite impressive to watch. Jolteon got some special touches, too, with ebony being used for its eyes, nose, and the dark parts of its inner ears, while thin slivers of abalone were added to theElectric-type Pokemon’s spikes to give it a shimmering and shiny appearance. A final close-up on the Jolteon shows just how detailed every facet of it is despite it being small enough to fit in the artist’s hand.
