Artist's Comments

this is half of the splash for the new webspace Dan and I are sharing. (this is his half, natch. ;) )

I'm proud enough of this that I had to submit it. this is outside of my comfort range in so many ways: it features an animal, it's relatively realistically rendered, I was trying to achieve an illustration with a faux-vector look, and most of all, I limited myself to a palette of 8 or 9 colors for the wolf and blended nothing.

drawn from several references of wolves and dogs in openCanvas 2.24E. I guess I used Elements for the radial gradient and PSP for the lettering there.

My favorite part is the realistic skinfolds under the fur. Everyone these days draws wolves as sleek seamless beasts, and tends to forget that every creature has a little flab here and there, or else it's not healthy. You win. <3

I watch a lot of TV. I drink a lot of coffee, too. But you know what's really addictive? Heroin.

thank you! I had been apprehensive about green + orange because they say secondaries are never meant to go together, but I am pretty pleased by the result. <3
