Would you believe me if I said that this looks much better in person?

A leetle bit of art and an experiment, like usual. I used a bit of interference paint on the star mists and on some areas on the wolf, and it didn't scan very well at all! Oh well. The paint is pretty pointless though it is kinda cool when it shimmers in the light. I also used some guoache, goosh, whatever, that works much better than gel pen for tiny highlights.

This drawing is so cliche, and a poorly executed cliche at that. I didn't intend for this piece to end up like this but it did. Before it had even less story than it does now, so I suppose I don't mind. Many times, when drawing, the piece will take over and direct itself. This was just a profile of a wolf. Then, it became a piece of solitude. And last, it became an ethereal entity, a wolf god, taking a moment to think, wonder, or pause before moving on to bigger and better things than stardust. I didn't know that this would happen! It just did! Yet another wonderful thing about art. It's a chaos that seems like nothing until the final product emerges, and all the different facets of the evolution from the chaos can be seen. Or, at least, from the artist's view, and maybe to the viewer as well. It makes a piece seem more layered.

Speaking of layers, this was done in ink, marker, colored pencil, and some paint for accents on Mohawk paper and measures 3.5 by 2.5 inches (This an ACEO).
