I am thrilled to be a part of the Werewolf Calendar for a second time for the year 2012, here is my submission which will be featured for May! I camped in Canyondlands National Park a lot as a kid, the desert is a great getaway when you need more open space than the woods provide. The colors of the desert in contrast to those of the pine forests of my home have always mesmerized me, so I tried to match some of the amazing palette offered by the land. This young werewolf, on a journey to collect precious salt minerals key to his pack's survival, is fortunate enough to experience some of the same intense hues found in the desert. The path is long, difficult, and often lonely, but he is grateful for the opportunity to experience such breathtaking and humbling views which few others are privy to.

My caption assignment
In the wild salt is a prized and often hard to find commodity, being both rare and crucial to animal survival. Animals have an appetite for sodium chloride that is so acutely well defined it is second in nature only to the desire for water. Natural salt deposits and salt springs are frequently visited by not only werewolves but other wild animals. Werewolves will also use these salt rich areas as frequent hunting grounds, knowing that other animals also have the same drive to seek out salt rich sources. Salt is often also collected by werewolves and stored in natural pouches made of animal hide. Many werewolves inhabiting regions where natural salt is hard to attain have formed a habitual habit to carry these salt pouches with them always. They are often seen hanging from their necks as a decorated necklace to conceal it's utilitarian nature.

Pretty! Reminds me of this photo of Antelope Canyon:

Eski! It is wonderful to see this piece in it's final form. It is breath taking beauty with the warmth of the sun light flowing into the coolness of the canyon walls! Having the Werewolf directly in the middle of such convergence of natural beauty, Spectacular!
Adore seeing the wall carvings as well! Really adds that extra detail.
Been hoping you have been doing well and best of wishes to you and your family Mademoiselle! Thank you deeply for the time and effort place into this calendar!

Oh my god, this is beautiful <3 not only the character ( which is just gorgeous as well! ), but the environment is just...there aren't words for it, the colors, the design, the tiny little details of the carvings and critters on the canyon walls, everything is just so perfect. Everything about this piece is amazing, and is seriously making me wish for another trip out to Arizona. :3 Out of curiosity, besides it being in the calender, will you be selling prints of this?
You captured the gradations you get in Antelope Canyon very well!
I have pics of lower with color gradients very similar to what you used.
I also recognize these lizards, though I've mostly encountered them
in death valley, not there. Also I recognize some of those petroglyph
symbols, yet again those would be found on harder rocks or varnished
sandstone.
This is a very nice contraction of what there is to expect in the open
wilderness there is left in the west. Super nice. :) You're missing some
skulls and the less friendly critters.
Now please get around to send the prints you have yet to send, I am
getting impatient to see your work framed at home! In fact, if you
have not printed my order yet, I'd gladly switch it for this one as I am
a desert lover.
Cheers!

Unfortunately I can't make prints of this piece untila few months into 2012, as it's exclusively for the werewolf calendar. If you've been reading my journals, you'll see that today is my first day back to full work as I've been dealing with RMFC (weekend before last) and my mother's wedding (this past weekend) so I have not had time to make the hour drive to my friend's place to finish producing the print orders. I also mentioned this in the emails I've been sending to all people who ordered prints. Please have some patience. =)

So much awesome!
When I was a young horsieh, I learned where an ancient site was located in southern California. It was once inhabited by a long-lost Nation of American Indian, and had petroglyphs (sp?), adorning the steep canyon walls. A fresh-water spring was at the bottom, girdled by a half-circle of sand.
It was a very solemn, and Holy site.
Years later, I took my brothers to it, and found it desecrated with graffiti, broken bottles of beer, cans, trash, and the water, once clean, murky.
I vowed to hate (most) of Mankind, after that.
Thanks, for offering a return of that first sense of 'Awe', for Nature's bounty, and beauty!

Slot canyons are so neat- eerily beautiful and the dream-time just flows in those places... The pictograms utterly make this one, and your colours are so rich, they almost make me cry.
Aghkgurgle. Artists like you make me want to chuck my tablet out a window. *sighs and faves this, hoping to learn something from it- that, and just 'cuz it's SO EFFING PRETTEH*
