A commission for Sawolf of his Maned wolf character! Maned wolves are more closely related to foxes than wolves, and are very unique looking canines. Take a look here if you're curious - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maned_wolf I love this kind of color scheme, greens, reds and oranges are among my favorite to work with. And painting that wonderful russet colored fur, my fav! <3
