Werewolf

This is one of the more successful realistic pieces I've done. I was having a ton of fun doing the face patterning in the fur... I'd never done a realistically patterned wolf before, and the complexity of their natural coloration is really quite amazing. I also like that she looks gentle.. because I feel that wolves are portrayed as angry or mean most of the time when theyre probably not. I didnt want background to interfere with this one, so I painted a salted watercolor background...
