Description EDIT: Awww dA made it blurry lookin' ;A; maybe cuz it's so big lol You can see the actual pixelness if you download it I guess.

-collapses out of chair and cries happy tears-

Ok. Firstly. This was inspired by the movie The Day After Tomorrow's theme. Listen here - [link]

That background was a pita when I got to the bottom, I had to fix the left side and auggghh add more colors, erase some, make some parts darker so it looked like it blended better, meoowwwrrrrr. And LOL it was supposed to be a snowy land mass, not an ocean. XD I was using this as a reference - [link] (which is a screenshot from the movie The Day After Tomorrow) I even started the Statue of Liberty but it wasn't looking right so I got rid of it and finished working on a city in the background. At that point I had gotten rid of the reference and did everything else from my imagination. x3

And my wolf therian form! Oh jeebus I feel like I totally failed on shading the wings and stuff ;O; I took another peek at a recent Daily Deviation (here - [link] ) to see if I could do the wing shading stuff too. I figured maybe I could try to improve? LOL And don't even get me started on the lighting! No crits! I know what I did ;A;

I could rant forever on how much I did with it. lol I started this around 5 I believe, and it's 12:34 am now, so yeah. @_@ A few hours ago, pretty much nonstop work. (besides eating dinner at 5 for a short time)

Look at me mommy, no hands! Well actually, no arms either. Or eyes. I did that on purpose. I tried drawing arms and it kept looking retarded so I ditched the idea. lol And I think it would be too dark to see the eye. But what do I know?
XD

But yerr. I daydream about flying over cities turned into tundras, exploring the remains of these civilizations as life struggles to survive and pull through for the morning. It's something I think of when I get tired of being depressed. Like my life is sometimes a frozen tundra and everything feels like it's coming to an end. I have a choice. I can either lay down in the snow and die, or I can push on and keep hope. And while I'm at it, I "search for survivors" - I try to help those around me. I can't save everyone - it's hard enough just trying to save myself. But at least I can try.

The whole thing made only in ms paint.

Art + wolf (c)

Ooh wait a second! I remember seeing this years ago, so it was you! I really liked this one and I was amazed by the way you drew the sea, and I even invited you to my group haha I already knew you even before I did! I even scrolled down and went past the comment pages and I saw my old comment from my old deactivated account (Khalipse).

Well there's no harm in commenting twice, so I'll say I'm still impressed about how you did this one, if there's something I really love it is that sea and the waves you drew, also the wings, the perspective is impressive.

Sam: I'm glad to be in this helicopter and with the snow, superstorms, and those stupid wolves wayyyy behind me...

*looks out window*

...Oh great, they grew wings.

Jack: I know it's a bit late to tell you this, but a key rule of surviving arctic conditions is that you never give hungry wolves red bull... You didn't, did you?

Ermergersh! Another winged wolf therian!! It's nice to meet you. I'm Wolfe. Technically, I'm a winged Canadian Wolf.

Aww sorry to say I don't associate myself as a therian anymore ;u; I would've been so excited to talk to you back in the day though! How long have you been awakened? <3

WolfShout In reply to cottoncritter [2012-10-17 23:06:39 +0000 UTC]

Aw, well that's too bad.
I've been awakened for about 7 years, although I only learned the term 4 years ago. I don't quite remember a time I did not feel like a wolf

cottoncritter In reply to WolfShout [2012-10-18 05:15:41 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, that's a long time! n-n I think I actually referred to myself as therian for around 3 or 4 years as well. I had felt connected to wolves ever since I was little, including cats and even dinosaurs (specifically Utahraptor). But I've moved on and feel like I simply was obsessed with dinosaurs for a few periods of time, and now I think of wolf and cat more like spirit totem animals in a way. It's complicated for me xD
How do you feel your wolf side looks like? n-n I've always felt mine is all black with blue or purple-ish eyes, and white on the chest and the tip of the tail.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

WolfShout In reply to cottoncritter [2012-10-18 05:32:23 +0000 UTC]

I'm white with auburn "ticking" (sorta kinda) on my flanks and on the base of my tail. .aaand I have blue grey eyes and... undecided wings, but I'm going with white right now.

Yes, I have three totem animals; raven, horse (friesian), and wolf. My totem/guardian/guide's (I believe I have one totem that takes many forms) name is Drako (aka, Drake or D) and he usually appears to me as black with bright green eyes in all forms. He's helped me discover myself and my inner therian "magic" (as some like to call it) a lot.

cottoncritter In reply to WolfShout [2012-10-18 05:39:59 +0000 UTC]

Oh! I forgot to mention I often think of my wolf side with white wings as well. n-n I have a few drawings in my "-2011" folder in my gallery if you'd wanna see~

And that's really neat! I love to hear about nice self discoveries like that <3 When I started delving into therianism, it was during a few years of my worse times and discovering something nice about myself like that made me feel better. It was something I had needed to believe about myself in order to help myself through. n-n

WolfShout In reply to cottoncritter [2012-10-18 22:39:51 +0000 UTC]

Me too. I used to have absolutely terrifying panic attacks because of my fear of death, and since I have discovered therianropy, I embrace death.

cottoncritter In reply to WolfShout [2012-10-18 22:42:21 +0000 UTC]

Oh gosh! Would you have panic attacks just from thinking about death or like, having close encounters? ;o;
