Description
Her howl tore through the cold night, drowing out even the sound of the late autumn rain.Their voices became one, forming one mighty battlecry, that echoed through the night as they dashed forward, a desperate last attempt fueled by their desire to finally be free again.
This night their hearts cried in unision, they were one, in body and soul. They lived as one and they will die as one.
If death was the price for being free, they all were more than willing to pay.

Well, you can find the comic on the groupd account if you are interested. It's kinda slow at the beginning, but it will get better as soon as we reach chapter 2.

Alrightie. Here we go again..
First off, this is a really nicely detailed picture. The lineart is very clean as well as the coloring. The dramatic lighting really adds tension to the scene. Emotions are very strong and clear. The anatomy is awesome like always, and since all of the wolves are moving forward, it gives the whole picture a nice sense of unity. The perspective is very nice as well, and suits the lineup of wolves.
The first thing that I found odd was the intense coloring of the wolves, how saturated and light the colors are. If anything, since the image is set at nighttime, their colors would be less saturated and darker. The bright light source makes me think of a streetlight, rather than anything found in nature. Backlighting would have worked really well here, and brought even more unity to the group of wolves, since right now most of their colors clash and don't look very appealing.
The second most important thing I noticed was the background (or lack of one) Contrast between characters and background can be used to create drama, but with the intense poses and lighting you already have, making the background so black is pushing it a little too far. As I said before, at first I couldn't tell it was raining. I'm still not sure what the background is, only that I see faint outlines of puddles. I've got my monitor's brightness all the way up, so I recommended making the background a tad more visible.
Other small details that I wouldn't have noticed at first were the rain running down the characters. It looks pretty flat, and for being so detailed on the characters and coloring, skimping on that rain doesn't do the piece justice. The motion blur was a nice idea, but again, with all the other effects creating drama, adding it was overkill.
Hope that helped!

Ich hab Liz erst gar nicht erkannt, dabei hab ich sie designed 8D. FAIL.
Sehr, sehr cooler Text zum Bild. Sag nicht nochmal, dass du nicht Englisch schreiben kannst. Du bist so viel besser als ich, srsly. Und ich find's echt gut dass du die Posen für die Refs "recyclet" hast; es ist nämlich echt schade, dass auf dem Bild die Körper der einzelnen Wölfe so verdeckt werden. Auf die Art sieht man sie wenigstens mal komplett :3.
Mir gefällt auch Solitaire hier sehr gut. Erst dachte ich ja, wir hätten schon so viele "helle Rücken", aber unter den Ausgestoßenen steht sie damit so ziemlich alleine da, oder? Daher bin ich jetzt doch schwer dafür, sie so zu lassen x'D *hustlol*.
Bevor ich's vergesse, ich hab Nightingale umdesigned und dein Template benutzt, um dir endlich mal ne anständige Referenz schicken zu können. Bin mal wieder netzlos, aber bei nächster Gelegenheit kriegst du sie :3. Du erinnerst dich vielleicht, das war die, die so ähnliche Farben hatte wie Dayhawk und an der ich deswegen noch feilen wollte ^^'.

o3o Ich hab mal wieder sehr viel Serien/Filme auf englisch geschaut und viel gelesen. Da bleibt was haften, denke ich.
(btw: deine Grammatik sit besser <.<)
Eben, das hab ich auch gedacht. Vorallem Adrians Pose war viel zu schön um dann am Ende verdeckt zu werden.
Ich hab versucht Solitaire nue zu designen, aber nichts sah so gut aus, wie das erste Design. Bis auf Doe gibt es keine weiteren mit hellen Rücken unter den Ausgestoßenen.
Ah ja, ich erinner mich. Gut das ich noch nicht selbst mit dran versucht hab. Bin mal gespannt was da dann von deiner Seite kommt. ^^

Ich kenne die Grammatik zwar nicht, aber immerhin wende ich sie (scheinbar, wenn du das sagst) korrekt an x'D. Ist im Deutschen auch nicht anders, lol. Im Ernst, Grammatik. Hab sie nie gelernt, ich lese nur viel :'D.
Vielleicht wars nur der Eindruck, den ich nach den ganzen Designs bekommen hab. Buck, Doe, Nim, Solitaire. Dabei sieht man die gar nicht zusammen, von daher ists eigentlich wurscht

The colors are all a little too clashy... It just looks kinda silly. Maybe if you made the colors less saturated it would look better?

If I wanted it less saturated I wouldn't have used the overlay mode. It was intentional. I like it this way, although I mostlikely won't use this kind of effect for the rain in the comic.

There is rain..?
I could barely see past the blinding colors e.e

You know, if there is a single thing you like about this project, feel free to point it out ^^'. Constructive critique is also about mentioning things that are well done, and then coming up with the ones that need improvement. All I've seen from you so far are (maybe-probably not intentionally?) rather harsh comments (no offense meant, simply stating an observation) without constructive advice, unless I prod for details. This isn't exactly helpful, and furthermore leaves the impression you're following a project that you don't enjoy at least a little.
I'm maybe making a fool of myself now, in case you're just someone looking for drama, but I also don't want to misjudge you, so I thought I'd point it out.

Well, you see, I figured you get enough compliments on your awesome anatomy and character design, shading, etc, already, but I guess not.. so if you do need some enlightenment, yes, of course I enjoy this project ^^ Probably one of the only comics on DA that has quite a lot of effort put into it! However, I do think you could do a better job on some things, which I try to point out. I'm not trying to be rude, but forgive me for trying to get my point across.

Good to know, I was kinda in doubt here x'D.
Oh, don't misunderstand, we appreciate the critique. In fact, we received quite alot of it already, which was most helpful. It's just that on the internet, it's very hard to judge the mood and intentions of a person through writing alone. That's why for example I write with a lot of smileys. It's to avoid misunderstandings 
If people want to say they like it, it's fine. If they want to point out a possible mistake and nothing else, it's also fine, even more appreciated. We want to improve after all. And it doesn't have to be a constructive critique of dunno-how-many-pages. But going into detail about how to improve things is very important. Obviously also the tone, since that created this misunderstanding in the first place ^^'. We're open for critique and advice, however, we do not want to evolve into anyone's verbal punching bags ^^.
Here's an informative article about the topic, if you're interested

So, let me get this straight, you like sugar-coated critique? Because I can do that.

I'm more talking about a basic level of politeness that is needed for regular human interaction, but call it as you like ^^'.
