Description Damn this image is BIG!

Sorry, I was just screwing around with the light filters. Tried a purple Hue insted of the usualy black.
Just for practise but I liked it a lot so I made a background.

This is Ark - Dante's brother. Dante also has two little sisters (2 Months) and Ark is Dante's older brother by 2 Month's.
The Jackle Alpha's rarely have big litters (1-3).

Thank you! Indeed, it makes a much nicer change than black shading! <3

Wow that's so awesome, I love the title!

I gotta say, the persepctive is so awesome! I love too see the ash fall down and the char is looking upon it. The epxression really suits, I mean, would be weird if he smiled a <- smile XD
But the anatomy is really great, loves how you did the legs and paws, even though the paws is little twisted. Should be able to see all four toes. But it doesn't ruins the picture at all <3

This is so awesome!

Black is a hard color to work with, but you really pulled this off nicely. Shit better than I could have done. I'm extremly impressed, this looks beautiful. And the blur effect really set the atmosphere. No critique here. Well done.

Holy good god Jade, this pic kicks @$$!! 8D I love his expression, and the snowwy, dark scene!

His eyes are so gorgeous. REALLY deep green -- absolutely wonderful job!
And also, the pose... WAH xD I love this pic so much!

I honestly have no crits. This is PERFECT! <3

I like the painty look of this. I'd love to see one of your pics done as traditional!

Keep it up!

You should try! You can draw wolves brilliantly with a pencil already, so it's just a question of how to colour it

MetaSelene [2008-11-06 15:09:06 +0000 UTC]

Nice^^ Your anatomy seems to be improving, and the background suits it really well^^
Maybe you should have smudged the grund beneath him a little, cause the sircles are wery vissible there.. Other than that, keep going, your art is great^^

Oh, nicely done with the colors and shading! And the affect works great with the emotion on his face.
Ark's a sexy beast, there. B)
Hmm...a similar question rolls in my head of what *LilGreenTraveler said, but I'm assuming there's a history behind that reason.
Only critique on this would be to blur the areas where the circles from the brush seem to stick out to much (i.e. top left).
But, seriously, this is amazing.

LilGreenTraveler [2008-11-05 23:12:49 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I'm sorry, but I must ask before I crit... why doesn't this guy have the right to the throne instead of Dante? He is older, after all...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Cactus-Canine In reply to LilGreenTraveler [2008-11-06 17:38:38 +0000 UTC]

Good question, Dude!

He's not blood related.
Long story short;
Thier mother was thought to be barren so (in her depression) her and Shadar started to drift apart. So she started to see this rouge that visited the boarders on the Clan. So, She get pregnant but she could kinda tell before everyone else and started to really worry. She talked it over with Shadar and he surprisingly started to forgive her. When Ark was born he had green eyes but they didn't belong to either parent. The Alpha's were extremely strict on Blood-Kin as the next Alpha so he was forbidden to becme the next Alpha. Ark was still well looked after but his green eyes always reminded them that he was wasn't truly theirs. They didn't tell the rest of the pack that the oldest Heir wasn't of Royal-Blood.
A year later the Alpha's relationship grew back and she got pregnant again with Dante. He had the same colour eyes as their mother (Wine) and his fur was grey/Black like his Dad's. So Dante became next in line for the throne.

Ooo... *eats up story* Tasty. XDD

I feel sorry for Ark. Poor dude. But still, man, Dante's cool too... dang. Oh, well. I think his eyes are awesome. xD When I first saw this pic, that was actually what I first noticed. Of course, cus I'm obsessed with the color. XDD But then it was like; Hmm, he looks like Dante, then came... yeah. XDD That's so awesome. I'm interested, now. XDD
