I use a lot of skull imagery in my art, and have been wanting to use a hyena skull in one for a long time. I decided to add a swirl in the background to create interest in the empty space.
Process
I worked mainly in Photoshop, importing the file into Illustrator afterwards. The skull illustration is a straightforward raster image using opacity to correlate to different engraving depths, and the swirl was created using the Liquify tool. After importing, the file was formatted to the skateboard dimensions.
Materials
The piece was engraved on a 7.5" skateboard deck
