Artist's Comments

Painting of my most favorite canine of them all, Canis dirus, the prehistoric Dire Wolf. No one paints dire wolves that I am aware of. NO ONE. At least not so they look like nothing more than a large gray wolf. Therefore it is my duty to begin doing so. The dire wolf is looked over far too much for my liking. I aim to fix that.

If you want to know more about dire wolves, please visit my page dedicated to them: [link]

Acrylic on 14 1/2 X 12 Illustration Board.

But I've never seen a prehistoric dire wolf, so I can't really say I can tell. XD;

Go you!!! :XD: Any wolf in my book is an awesome wolf, and all should be shared with the world!!! Mwahahahahahaha-*choaks*-ahem........... ....Yeah. But sadly, since i cannot seem to find the talent to draw these beautiful creatures I must rely on seeing them from you. Thank you, you've made my night. :worship:
