"Though rare, some werewolves have resorted to living in high altitudes to avoid human encroachment. These Werewolves, often several generations old, have become well adept to the freezing and dangerous living conditions experienced on rocky mountain terrains. Adept climbers, these werewolves can easily bound after mountain goats and other mountain dwelling prey, with the ease of agility that does not often come naturally to species of canids. Using their strong upper body arms and opposable thumbs, werewolves pose as great a threat to large mountain ungulates as the keenly graceful snow leopards of the Himalayas. Expanded lung capacity needed to process and ingest the low levels of oxygen at high altitudes make mountain dwelling werewolves formidably strong. This combined with the incredibly athletic build as a result of the constant physical exertion of balancing and leaping from rocky face to rocky face make this werewolf among the strongest of his ilk. Thick coats insulate these graceful hunters from the sapping cold and attack of fellow predators. "
My contribution to the Werewolf Calendar
The Calendar is currently available for pre-order until November 18th after which time a limited supply will be available for direct purchase. So if you would like one, it is always best to pre-order your copy now! You may order it here: Purchase!
Thank you to all that have bought a copy, this year and in previous years. This is now the 5th anniversary of the calendar and we are eager to see it into it's 10th! Thank you all for making it what it is and bringing into it your enthusiasm and sharing your love of the werewolf with us. You make this calendar what it is and what it will become!
Personal Note:
Recently I have been fascinated with the Tibetan culture and history. A great deal of beauty and pain is evident in the people and though their struggle persists there is a resilient hopefulness in them. The use of vibrant colors in their artistic heritage seems almost at odds with the reality of their world. With this piece I wanted to depict my werewolves living high in the Himalayas in the plunging cold and upon the precipice. The lighting was struck upon accidentally but it seemed to click. I hope you folks enjoy.
Lastly, It has been sometime since my last upload, and that seems to be what I say every time I upload these days! Thank you again to all you patient folks and all the lovely comments asking when I would update again. Truth be told I have a lot of things in the works behind the scenes but my day job and a recent trip has eaten into my time quite a fair amount as tends to happen and it has just kept me from being active online. I hope I will find a balance again soon as I used to get so much from sharing my work and it was a great motivator in and of itself! Thank you all C:

Whao. Balaa.
I haven't seen your work in awhile (shame on meee) glad I ran into this and your artwork again though.
This is really breathtakingly beautiful. It has wonderful details, but what I really love is the vast, rather lonely atmosphere you created.~
(And I'm not quick to buy calendars, but this is seriously making me reconsider. ♥ )

I just... having a crap day and saw this picture you've drawn and god damn. o.=.o It's just amazing to look at, I love the lighting, the streak of light when it breaks through the clouds? Just love the emotion and feel of this. Well done, I'd love to get a print of this one day or something
You've rendered the light superbly, that one shaft of light through the clouds with everything else cold and shadowed. Wow! Winter is like that here, it can be cloudy all day and just as the sun is going down, way off on the horizon there's a little clearing so you see a bit of light before it sets. Fine, finely done piece!
interesting story idea, and, why not? ^^
anyway, I like the atmosphere. it's chill despite the spot of sunlight. (which irritated me for a while. at first I thought it was a watermark looking like a spirit floating over those rocks far behind, then I saw it's their shadows against rocks that are only a few meters away)
all those flags and their scarfs make for a nice colourful contrast against their fluffy, stone-grey fur. also, great mix of human and wolf anatomy.
the right wolf seems to look at the rocks with contempt. maybe he heard something?

Another one of my top three pictures of all the Werewolf-Calendar-art. I am really glad that they have featured it as a Daily Deviation over on DA when I suggested it. This is a masterpiece, as I have said over there and it is definately worth it. You can almost imagine the cold winds blowing through the mountains, smell the snow and feel the warming light on your fur. I really love the information text, you have written for this picture here too. Combined with the image, it creates a very strong and beautiful atmosphere. I totally love the way you did the fur of the wolves. The paws are done just great again too. The same goes for the whole anatomy at all.
I also adore the accessoires of the wolf. It looks so damn nice and I would love to own such a nice piece of jewelry too.
The beams of light bursting through the cold air and snow and hitting the hard mountain walls in the background are simply wonderful too....at all this picture is truely a masterpiece and I totally love it. Brilliant work.
