Description
"Old longings nomadic leap,
Chafing at custom's chain;
Again from it's brumal sleep
Wakens the ferine strain."
~Jack London

Many of you may recognize this quote, as it was my signature on here for eons xD;
But our Drawing final was to interpret a quote, and this one has such strong imagery for me~
(It helps to know that "brumal" refers to winter, and "ferine" is another version of feral.)
It doubles as both a summary for Call of the Wild (the book starts off with this poem, actually), and a metaphor~
But I'll leave interpretation up to you cB

I probably could have used a stronger image for this, but I had trouble just thinking of one picture- I visualize it as a series of images, picking one was hard 8|

As for media, this was done entirely in marker : D The font in Sharpie (I don't care if it fades, I wasn't killing a nice marker for this project), the rest in Copic. I used about 11 shades of grey 8|
The eyes came out unintentionally small, but it looks better in real life. The font could also have been done neater (it was all freehand, I probably could have used a ruler though. I didn't even get examples of fonts off the comp, it was all from my head.)
And the poor quality photo is because the paper is too big for the scanner. (putting the pieces together in Photoshop would have been a pain, considering it's be at least 6 individual images) It's 13x18 inches, not including the paw.
I'm really pleased with the fur texture though. Even if anatomy in places might be a bit wonky.

That's also the carpet in the computer room.
