Description So, here is the point commission for the nice 

I should draw for him his wolf character in the pose of the Grish titan god Atlas, who must just take the whole world on his shoulders.
And oh man, this commission has really required a lot of my skills, I have never drawn a world globe before, never mind with acrylics.
I'm pretty facilitated that he only wanted a half body commission, such a bent, kneeling pose, would probably drove me into despair. XD

Otherwise however, I had a lot of fun to work on this piece, because I just love to draw gray fur!  
His facial expression is slightly more energetic than on the sketch, I hope that's okay so.

Acrylics and Colored Pencils on Bristol Paper. 

Here are some other of my works:  



I hope you are satisfied!

I know the wolf has an important job of holding up the earth, but he looks like he's going to hurl that me.

Nah, he has a very exhausting full-time job, at such conditions is sooner or later everyone pissed off.
And since he must hold the earth, he cannot get your throat!

It takes a very strong wolf to hold up the earth.

Das ist mal wieder ein sehr stimmungsvolles Bild geworden! ich bin mir sicher es wird ihn gefallen  
Ich finde dir ist die Weltkugel ziemlich gut gelungen für den ersten Versuch Eine detaillierte Erde zu malen ist nicht gerade einfach ^^* und der Wolf ist natürlich mega geworden wie bei all deinen Wölfen, vor allem dieser durchdringende Blick^^
Persönlich hätte ich gerne ne full-body version gesehen hehe. Würde bestimmt episch in deinem Stil ausschauen cx aber es wirkt auch sehr toll als half-body bild. Der Fokus liegt dann mehr auf die Beziehung zwischen der Kugel und dem Wolf was du gut eingefangen hast

Och danke schön, freut mich, dass es dir gefällt und ja, es hat ihm auch sehr gefallen!  
Naja, im Nachhinein, hätte ich gerne bei der Weltkugel einige Dinge anders gemacht,
aber stimmt schon, ich kann froh sein, dass es nicht völlig misslungen ist.
Vor allem, weil ich die unbewusste Angewohnheit habe, die schwierigen Dinge, die schief gehen könnten, erst am Schluss mache. x)
und das ganze als full-body, währe sicher auch cool gewesen, ich nehme es ihm aber überhaupt nicht übel,
dass er nur eine half-body Zeichnung wollte, da hätte ich nämlich nicht garantieren können,
dass das Bild meine best möglichsten Skills hat, weil ich ja immer noch so Mühe mit der männlichen Anatomie habe.  
Und das ganze in so einer knienden Pose und dann auch noch ein Anthro, ne ne half-body passt schon!

Bitteschön! cx
Nachdem man ein Bild fertig hat denkt man sich eigentlich immer dass man was hätte besser machen können aber beim nächsten mal weiß man dann mehr worauf man achten muss^^
Wie schon gesagt, als half-body wirkt es ja auch schon toll Ich finde deine männlichen Anatomien (und deine Anatomien allgemein) eigentlich immer recht gut gelungen c: Persönlich hab ich immer eher Probleme mit dem weiblichen Körper xD
Ja da kann ich dich schon verstehen. Man muss ja nicht immer übertreiben

"-If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders - What would you tell him?"-

-I…don't know. What…could he do? What would you tell him?-

-To shrug.-”

Sorry, but I had to put this quote here . Nice illustration, is like an anthro version from a symbolism and metaphor .

From Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I read the book a couple of months ago.

PD: Remember the cerinian character that I showed you some time ago?

Heh, that one strong and handsome lupus!
Love the colouring and detail with the fur!
Being a wolf though, maybe he should be holding up the Moon...?

Well, a moon would certainly fit, but this was a commission and an earth was expressly wanted.
