I really enjoy seeing how you have the Lupine Lord using that shield, for both defense and offense. I see so many artists, especially fantasy ones, who have sword-and-board fighters swinging their shield far out of the way when they attack. That really seems like a silly way to use a shield.
That puts me in mind of one of my now-deceased uncles. He was in the US Army in WW2, came out with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star, both from Anzio, and he loved to brawl in civilian life (always winning despite being about 5' tall). He very bluntly told me that "A fair fight is the fight you win."
