AAAAH *small heart attack* ;3;
Goodness it’s awesome to see him AGAIN ;3; I’m quite surprised you still continue the by now ‘small tradition’ of re-drawing this big boy of mine ;u;
And gosh how you have improved again this past year. And I’m not solely referring to how you draw Daniel but I just scrolled through your gallery and that’s proof enough of how much you’ve grown c: Shading, poses, detailing… those all catch my eye :>
You have a very own way of drawing him and heck it looks majestic. I especially like how you have drawn his mane here with the almost fan-like shape of his red sideburns ;u; And you have made the long parts look so silky <3… There’s almost a ‘rhythm’ or pattern-like look to how you have drawn the back of his mane as well, I love it :3 It’s that kind of look I often also see in art of dragons with their almost rhythm/pattern-like scales and perfectly arranged fur, something that always gives me more of a feeling they are regal ;u; I hope you know what I mean by this <3
And his horns look fantastic too! I like the detailing of the shading on them and how they really do seem more like smooth black rock or maybe even black crystal : D I”ve been implementing the idea of dark crystals more in his story and design lately so that’s a perfect match to the look here ;u;
I also really dig the blue energy-like streams at the corners of the piece <3 I’ve long said goodbye to Daniel’s flame shaped powers because there’s so much fire-powered wolves around these days XD I’m happy to see you have chosen to go for a more energy-like shape as well ;u;
And that signature toothy grin of his in this form , you captured it very well yet again <3 And I like the emphasis on his strong/long canines here !
You even included the purple glow to his eyes, showing that even this body can’t contain whatever’s swirling deep inside the deep dark pit of this part of his being ;u;
I still have no idea what I did to deserve so many amazing drawings of Daniel over the past years, but the description is giving me a hint ;-; And it’s super flattering <3… I’m just happy to read that I still remain to be an inspiration to you! I hope I can maintain that story telling in my drawings, lately I feel a bit out-of-touch with how I used to draw and I’ve silently been hoping it doesn’t affect the story part too much xD
I’m blabbering…
THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN <3.. Not only for this one, but also for all the past drawings you’ve done of him and for the heartwarming words ! And for the support in your comments just as much c:
I wish you the best for 2018 and a ton of inspiration/motivation to keep on drawing !
Also sorry for my broken English today lol, somehow I'm having trouble wording things lately xD

I love reading your comments so much <3
I’m so so so very glad you love it, everything I tried to translate came across and that was my goal!!
I poured all my effort into this piece, to really make it a special one for the end of the year!! (And besides, I love my ‘little tradition’) lol. You deserve the fanart because your characters are too cool -not- to draw!!

No problem dear ;u; !
I absolutely do, you keep on putting a lot of your time and effort into drawing these anual gifts ;-; It's really heartwarming to see you're also enjoying doing this <3 ! I still think that fun-factor is key when you draw well.. anything ;u; I can see clearly you really took your time putting down the pose and how you were going to handle all the parts of his design, he's not easy to draw so I know the thinking that goes into drawing this big guy even if it's a simple doodle, at least that's what I still experience when drawing him haha.
Glad you had fun, the result is fantastic <3 !
