:icongoldenwolf:
A warrior-hunter wolf stops at his tribe's sacred spring to partake of the waters in preparation for a ritual hunt.

Holy crap I finished it XP *falls over dead*

A commissioned painting for a couple who wanted me to pretty much make them something pretty (with a few specifications such as the tribal feel, color scheme, and pose). I was allowed to come up with an idea based upon previous work of mine that they liked, and this is what I came up with for them.

I'm not sure how long this took me all in all since I've worked on it here and there over a period of several months. If I had worked on it steadily it might have taken two weeks? I don't know. All I know is it was hours and hours of work, but oh so fun and worth it :)

Acrylic on 14" X 18" Illustration Board

BTW: Since it was specifically requested that there was "something to indicate 'that's a male' - not anything overtly sexual and certainly no 'pink bits'" I had no problem with painting him correctly with his male parts. There is a "clean" version sans the male bits for those who prefer it.

A "clean" (neutered) version is here:

Beautiful work designer: I love this image. It is beautiful and feral and fantastically done. :)

whats the big deal? If you have dogs, you see that all the time. It isnt the penis, it is the shaft covering. Come on people. It is animal anatomy. Grow up.

You know in the clean version I didn't even notice, and then read your description, came to see this one....and it took me a minute to see a difference lol I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't said anything. Both are wonderfully beautiful pieces of art. I only wish I had talent such as this. You have quite the gift. :)
