Artist's Comments

Hiragenna from ~25Nanao16's cool comic "North Heart" [link] This is not what he normally looks like. I thought it would be fun to do a fast-forward in time to see what Hiragenna could look like in the future. He has quite the fighting spirit, so I figured he'd probably have some battle scars.

Trade with :icon25nanao16: Here's what she did for me: [link] it's awesome! I have to admit, Nanao, that I didn't use just pencils in this one, sorry! If you want I can try to come up with a pencil only piece while I'm off visiting my family this next month. ^^

This actually started out as just a test for a contest I am working on, but turned out into a full-blow work. As always, I know I need help getting better! So crits please ^^

Critiques

Wow kenai. just wow!

Brillant use of water colours for the northern light lit skies, and trees! Amazing use of colours on the wolf its self, and a very natural pose (well done for finding a good ref ;) )

I also love the smug look on his face, he seems old here, yet very young in spirit!

Now for the crits:
The face, strikes me as being quite 'foxy', by that i mean thin and pointy (evan though in the ref, it looks very much like you've drawn it. I would have 'bulked' the muzzle out a tiny bit more)
Also, the rear leg dosen't seem quite right, again when useing a ref don't be afraid to move things about until they look right to you. Infact it's a good idea to leave a piece of work on your desk over night, then look at it the first thing when you wake up. Doing this you give yourself a rest, so when you return to it(be it just to look at it) you can give yourself an honest self crit.

that all being said, i love it, faved without question!

~more please!

Well its either the shoulders are to high or the neck is to low...X3. i know what u want it to look like but try to make it look more like there is a neck there.x3. i cant quite put my finger on it but it looks like theres something rong wit the muzzle/mouth. so take a tutorial on that to. ^.^.

Always remember to pillage BEFORE you burn.


96% of teens won't stand up for God. Put this in your sig if you're one of the 4% who will.
