Artist's Comments

Wow, so sorry for the God-awful background but this took me almost all day. I had completed the head and part of the neck done over the passed two days, then finished the rest of it after working from about 1-ish till now which here is after 11pm
I'm shattered! But I aimed to get this done before going back up to Dundee tomorrow so it's been my backbreaking task all day and I must say, despite the background and the fact that his head is a little too big in comparison to the rest of him...I'm pretty chuffed =)

I don't wanna go blabbing on so I'll stop here - just motivated by my sketches in my sketchbook and had to do a large scale wuffie pic again.

This is roughly A2 in size and done with Derwent Soft Colour Pencils and conte. The reference came from one of my old wolf calendars.

Oh my...at first I thought this was a photo. XD You did..amazing with the detail on all that fur. Kinda' looks like the wolf is on the prowl. And I do love the background. :heart:

Gorgeous texture, awesome job on the realistic look! And I really like that background, it's detailed, but not enough to take away from the wolf. I especially like how the background just seems to fade out.

Gah gorgeous paws and face!
