Description An old dying wolf gladly welcomes death after a long and happy life...

I tried to portray death a positive entitiy rather than a negative one in this image. I think we often let our fears get the best of us and think of death as something evil.

Hope you like it I did this one last week and thought I'd upload it for you now^^

On a separate note, thank you guys for all of the positive feedback on my Cheshire Cat! It really means a lot to me^^

This may be a silly question, but how do we go about requesting an art work commission from you? I have seen 3 or 4 of your wolf commissions, and I had an idea for combining the themes in these commissions into a singular wolf art piece that would be used as my custom tattoo template. (I have been searching for a good custom wolf tattoo to get, and I love the themes in 3 or 4 of your wolf commission art works; and I would like to see if you would be willing to combine the themes in these 3 pieces into a singular painting that I could tell a tattoo artist: "this is how I want my wolf tattoo to look."

I don't know whether to be stunned or creeped out!

Hee, joking aside, this is so pretty <3 I love the flowing strokes connecting the two subjects. It holds the eye on the piece, which is hard to achieve. : D

The wolf looks sad/scared, which doesn't really fit the description of her "gladly accepting death". D: Perhaps you should work on happy wolves? It took me forever before my wolves stopped looking depressed...>> Eheh. Well, still, I would have never guessed it was supposed to be a positive viewing of death before reading the description. That's just slightly strange.

Either way, this is another epic piece. .3. Lovely job, lucky! <3

That's beautiful!! Such a peaceful and happy expression the wolf on the left has. I love how you added the black to make it look like "death", but the wolf's expression makes it seem less painful than we would think.

i really like the way your portrayed death. i think its scarier for the people who will lose someone rather than the one who is dying themselves if you know what i mean. i'd be more scared of someone i loved dying than me dying myself because i'll have to live without them.
