Wow, this is really beautiful! The pale pink is a really nice touch, and it looks so dignified and wise. :heart:

it's been like 6 or 7 years since I read that book, and that was only because I was writing it.

That´s beautiful! The eye somehow feels really alive, maybe because of the warm tones? Or more likely the fact that you can make just about any drawing look alive.
I love the leaves, did you depict any specific species?
Also the pink doesn´t look "pink" at all - by any other artist, a wolf with pink markings would count as "really-really-weird-and-stupid", but yours looks just beautiful.

Thank you! I was hoping pink wouldn't seem to girly for a rather large, solid, chunky-monkey wolf. :D

I'm glad that the pink markings don't look 'really really weird and stupid,' and I was a bit worried about that too. But the wolf wanted pink.

I think the eye looks alive more because of the warm tones, I do think I invest a bit of time into thinking how to make the eye expressive, but a little bit of yellow and orange never goes astray. hehehe. :)

No specific species of hornbeam, a 'russian one,' lol, how vague of me. We don't have hornbeams in Western Australia, so I mainly went off internet images. *blush*
