Description Character Sheet: [link]

Noah was impaled by a deer antler in a hunting accident when she was about two years old. She survived the horrific injuries that she sustained, but suffers from permanant brain damage, dementia, and schizophrenia, along with the physical side effects of having a nearly severed facial and oculomotor nerve, and is blind in her left eye. She was transformed from an intelligent, calculating hunter into a dopey, mild-mannered basketcase.

AND I LOVES HER.

But not this picture. I've been working on this off and on since August, and I'm finally pissed off at it eough to just call it finished, even though I hate it. D<

Adobe Photoshop CS. Too many hours.

This is such a creative character design. And the way you do details is fantastic you put so much effort into the fur and it's very amirable.

The Antler idea is epically awesome, so epic I fear a small amount of the Internet will blow up due to the massive buildup of epicness.

Shouldn't your wolf be long dead? After all, if your blood-brain barrier's broken that violently by an object that large and obviously not sterile, you're basically fucked. No way it could have survived.

Not necessarily true.

This is so WEIRD! I love it! At first I thought it was another wolf with antlers until I read your description and discovered that it is STUCK in her head, holy geez that’s insane! It’s really well done though and makes your brain go WHAT!?!?

Beautiful... I love how the wound form the entry has healed and left the antler in. Really really vivid and though you seem not to like it, it is fantastic and really really got me in the mood for wolves XD thanks... jk. Mesmerizing job.

I love you the way you render the fur. The back story about the character is interesting too. I like how much emotion in the character's face.

Ayem [2008-11-14 08:49:10 +0000 UTC]

Looks amazing! And it's so original, too. X) It's so much cooler than the typical 'wolf standing there idly' pics I always see. The fur looks amazing... I love how it's smooth on the face, and then softly blends to rougher, more shapr fur.
On the topic of fur, however, I do have one small crit. Well, not so much a crit, more of a curious, why does it do that type thing.
The fur... on the shoulder seems to be sprouding from this single point? Does it actually do that in real life? If it does, never mind. It just seems... odd.
Anyway, I really love this pic with it's creative type of wolf character. It takes scar to the next level.

Nylak In reply to Ayem [2008-11-14 11:30:17 +0000 UTC]

Haha, no, it totally shouldn't; I pulled her fur out of my ass. XD By the time I got to the longer fur, I was so sick of drawing this that I just slapped it down. I keep meaning to make a new/better painting of her, but I just never seem to have the time.

Thanks for the comments! ^^ Noah's my baby.
