Description "She had done it, it had worked! Praise the moon she had survived where so few had in the past. She was born anew, and look at her! She was gorgeous in her new pelt of white and gold, her golden eyes shining in the moonlight. The blessed moonlight that had enabled her transformation from a normal human to a strong member of his race. He didn't kid himself, however. He knew it was all her doing. She was strong in heart and mind and had the soul of a wolf, which was rare. Power and grace were hers as she tested her new body, reveling in her speed and senses. Gods, she was beautiful, his soul mate. The change had been almost laughably easy compared to others he had witnessed. Had she not wanted this, had she resisted it...but she hadn't. She hadn't, and had survived.

Mentally he shook himself and kept pace with her, watching her excitement at her first run in her new form, her beautiful lupine face glowing. This life she was a part of now was perilous and dark, nothing like the life she had known before. But there was no small amount of magic in it as well, and nothing was more joyous to a Kierrn than to simply run. He remembered his first run well as he kept pace with her through the moonshadowed forest. To suddenly lose a sluggish and slow human body and to all at once be able to run like the very wind itself, to move without effort, almost without thought, as if you possessed wings....

Soon he would have to teach her to fight, to hunt, to kill and feed, but for now he simply allowed her this bliss, allowed her to take joy in what she now was as they ran side by side under the glowing moon."

Yep, another colored Kierrn [link] piece by yours truly.
Two Kierrn (werewolves) run in their Wolfen (near wolf) forms under a rising moon.
My usual watercolor and colored pencil on 14 X 8 Bristol with a limited pallette and muted colors for that whole dreamy, night time effect.
And yes, Kierrn paws ARE that big, because these are NOT wolves.

What can I say? I adore my children...fur, fangs, and all

The story behind this piece is so beautiful. I love the artwork itself also(its in my favorites!), but the story is amazing... you are my favorite artist on DA.

Wow this is beautiful and wonderfully colored. I could see the song Run Wolf Warrior from Wolf's Rain as the picture's main theme.

Got someone lying through their teeth about not 'referencing' the wolf in this. They'll say they referenced the background, but they won't fess up to the wolf. O_o It's quite.... weird.

Wooow. To think this used to be my wallpaper back in the day. Like... at least 5 years ago. Our computer was old too.
Small screen so this pic was the perfect fit. I just loved looking at it. Still do. One of my favorite werewolf pieces. Well done.

Man, not awkward at all for a first timer.

Makes me want to flip it, do a story with a new werewolf who's awkward, messed up, scared, and has no idea what the heck he's doing.

She looks very happy, I often wondered what this drawing meant, I'm guessing the new Kierrn is you?

What that would be like to be under the moon, running through the wind in the body of a wolf.

I know this was made back in '04 but I must say I love this! The story is nice and really makes me envious of these characters. It would be so amazing to be able to transform and run without a care in the world. I'd love to do that... really, I would.

Haha, the female's (i believe) expression is adorable.
I adore your work. Old & new.
