Description DOTW, while not a group I'm in, has artists within me that have greatly influenced me over the years :'D I've done some fanart for these artists!

From left to right:
Tazihound 's DotW: Faust
Faust was one of the first few characters I'd come across when I discovered DoTW, and his character design immediately struck me as unique. I remembered loving reading the roleplays back in 2015 and my utter horror when I believed he'd died at the paws of Renier, and then my immense relief when discovering he had indeed survived. It's been a long ride and I'm a bit sad to see him go, but he's had a fulfilling story arc!

Naviira 's DotW: Rodwen
Rodwen is a relatively newer character I followed, and the culture of his pack, as well as his design, struck me as extremely elegant. Nav proves here that you don't need 483759 colours and markings to create an original looking character (as most amateurs think). In addition, Rodwen's offspring have engaging stories of their own! (Klaus is actually my favourite among Nav's characters, but I feared I'd be unable to do his curly fur justice oops)

Lachtaube 's [ DoTW ] Thallo | Highvalley - Deceased
Thallo is a bit more of an unorthodox character, and in the good way. I've never actually seen any characters born with facial/physical defects since most wolves considered "ugly" gain their scars through fights or things like fire. It's this sort of discrimination Thallo faces that hit me real hard, the unfairness of his situation and the tragedy of his story. [ DoTW ] Ugly  had me in tears. Literally. Emotionally, Thallo is the character I was most attached to. I don't think I was able to quite capture his likeness despite a couple of attempts, but I hope you like it anyway c':

I'm so sorry I never commented on this yet! But I just wanted to say, thank you so much for drawing my Rodwen. I'm so glad you like him and the pack's culture. It's something I worked tirelessly on for so long. I hope you enjoy the rest of their stories!
