On the Prowl - Werewolf Calendar
So excited to finally upload this! :D This is my contribution to the Werewolf Calendar that I had the fantastic opportunity to take part in this year, soooo thrilled to have worked with such amazing people and be a part of this project.
The caption I got this year:
Ethiopian and Indian werewolves are dramatically different in appearance and build from their timber and gray wolf counterparts. Indian werewolves are often one-half the size of their North American cousins and feature much thinner coats and shorter bodies and legs. Ethiopian werewolves are even smaller, approaching the size of a coyote with similar ruddy coloration to their pelt. These werewolves have adapted themselves to their local environment through generations of breeding. Their lifestyles and cultures also reflect the local regions, often borrowing influences from native tribes and peoples.
My image for the calendar presents a pair of Ethiopian wolves searching for prey in the Ethiopian Highlands! This was such a blast to work on, so happy to paint some Ethiopian wolves and I loved doing the strong light/shadow contrast on this. Got some really great and helpful feedback along the way as well to build the image up.
Make sure to out the Werewolf Calendar website here for more information on the project:

Preorders for the calendar open on September 1st at midnight US Pacific Time (UTC-8) and the first first 200 Pre-orders will receive 3 bonus items; an art card/postcard by Kyndir, a sticker by Simul and a magnet by me :)
Will be a really amazing calendar, really looking forward to seeing all the final images together!

It's so surreal. The warm honey earth, the dark sky that frames it. For me it looks like eternal twilight or dawn where you never feel cold or hunger because the earth is rich. And the sky represents the downsides of life for me in this image. A wave of darkness that comes to this or that area here and then. But afterwards the world appears even brighter. (It's rain after all)
I love paintings that capture you in a otherworldly dreamy mood. Purple is a magic color. You did awesomely jby creating this mood just with the colors. And of course rendering, subject and everything else is wonderful. (I only think the shoulder is too big. But its not disturbing.)
