Wolf Howling To The Moon
by woofers. @ Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:52 pm [Reply]

This is meant to be a Wolf howling to the moon, yeah the Wolf is messed up but what do you think? Also the timer is off, It took me around 10 minutes to do this :)


OMG, ten likes! I would love if we can get fifteen!
Probably never going to happen...

SketchedMoon @ Sun Nov 13, 2011 6:12 am

it's really good, but i don't think it's Intermediate yet.

Laura-Love-Skyrim @ Sun Nov 13, 2011 7:02 am

i agree :3

Onyxeva @ Sun Nov 13, 2011 7:38 am

Well I think its fine in intermediate since you are looking for critique.

I think you have the basic idea of what a saber toothed cat looks like, and now you just need to refine it. Here's some images that I think will help you. :3 Also, there are many other saber tooth cats besides just the Smilodon.

Smilodon Reference #1
Smilodon Reference #2
Smilodon Skeleton Reference

I hope these help you. :3

Just an experiment.
Why yes, this is Harry Potter related. And if you know Harry Potter, then you know who's Patronus this is.
It has quite a few flaws, but I still had fun drawing this~

**Edit** I touched it up a bit, but the antlers still stink. Whatever, I'm done messing with this. xD

Howling For Justice
by Wazaiyata @ Fri Nov 04, 2011 12:44 pm [Reply]

UPDATE: NOVEMBER 2, 2011

6 more wolves have died since last night. The death toll stands @ 145 (Idaho/99, Montana/46)

===

November 2, 2011

Who’s the predator who loves to kill for “sport”? Yes, you guessed it, man. And killing wolves for fun is happening with frightening speed in Idaho and Montana. On Halloween night the death toll stood @ 131, now it’s 139 ( Idaho/95 and Montana/44) , all in the name of blood lust.

Mike Thompson, a Montana FWP Wildlife Manager, thinks hunters, once they actually kill a wolf, are quite happy about it. He was quoted extensively in the Missoulian concerning the wolf hunt.

He opines:

“I don’t hear much about hunters being very happy with wolves until they get one and then they’re pretty darn happy just like they are when they get a deer or an elk,” he said. “In the long run, Montana’s going to have an additional hunting tradition that we didn’t have before.”

Well isn’t that just peachy? Another great hunting tradition, killing wolves for fun. I guess hunters can sit around the fire and reminisce about the beautiful animal’s life they snuffed out for a trophy or “just because I get a kick out of it”, take your pick.

The wolves of course have no choice in the matter because fish and game agencies have turned our wildlife into commodities for hunters to slaughter. Arrogant hunters can justify their carnage because it’s state sanctioned killing, so it must be OK, right? Wrong. Trophy hunting is barbaric, cruel and in no way a sport. The smiling pictures posted on the Internet of hunters lording over their dead victims is enough to make a person lose their lunch. I’ve always wondered what they are so damn happy about? Oh they’ve conquered a poor innocent animal with a high-powered rifle. How manly. That’s really something to be proud of.

Make no mistake, if it wasn’t for Obama and his minions selling out wolves and the ESA hunters wouldn’t be adding wolf hunting as a new tradition to their list of fun things to do on the weekend.

PLEASE, Please, please, click these links:http://howlingforjustice.wordpress.com/

Elettra @ Fri Nov 04, 2011 12:59 pm

Awesome, as always. ^-^

First post!! YESH! <3

Wazaiyata @ Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:00 pm

lol, thank you! :D did you read?

Elettra @ Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:05 pm

Yes,and I am against killing wolves! Wolves are so gentle and kind, if you see them in their natural environment. <3

Paw Anatomy Tips
by Susiron @ Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:19 pm [Reply]

Wolf face anatomy tips: viewtopic.php?t=858451
Wolf leg anatomy tips: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=860414

Another anatomy tips page thing.

Alright, so the main thing I see when people draw wolf paws is that they make them HUGE and chunky.
Yes, wolves do have big paws, but that doesn't mean they're chunky and thick. In fact, when a wolf has its foot on the ground, a wolf's paw actually becomes quite squished and flattened out.

See the squish?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... n_Wolf.jpg
http://lupinicious.deviantart.com/art/G ... ious&qo=24

Also, their toes are NOT the same length. The middle two are longer, and the other two fall back. From a side view, you CANNOT see the fourth toe, and you may not even see the third. In fact, if the third toe IS visible, it should be just a tiny sliver of it.

When a wolf is picking up its feet to walk, the toes point inward.
When the wolf is about to place its foot on the ground, its toe points outward.

And hind paws aren't as small as some people think. Yes, they are smaller, but still fairly long.
http://wolfdog.ws/assets/images/autogen/a_Skeleton.jpg See the toes?
http://sikaris.deviantart.com/#/d349kow See how the hind paws are still pretty long, while not as long as the fore paws?

I plan to do another page for wolf legs, but just for the sake of it here-- wolves also don't have STRAIGHT legs.
With the first paw that you see here, the one on the top left, you can see where the ankle juts out before going into the foreleg.
The leg right behind that one is a HIND leg, and does not have this jut.


Here are some HQ wolf paw sketches I found: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&secti ... s#/d37iki0


Reference as much as possible, and never stop practicing. Paws can be a pain, but practice makes prefect! C:

Can you see what it is ? Douse it look like a beast opening its mouth and spider webs for teeth ? :twisted:

This is Morphon. I tried for evil/phyco but it became mysterious. Thank goodness he is also a bit mysterious. Yes there is supposed to be pink around his eyes. He has pink tear ducts.

No ref used 'cause I'm to lazy to find one. xD Probably need one though lol.

Hope this fits in intermediate.

Enjoy!

If you're wondering about that last one just ask me.

a young yanak talking to his father's spirit:
son: "Oh, father, dear father, my only wish is to be with you, that is why I am doing this."
father: "No, son. You must not."
son: "But why? You did it!"
father: "That, son, is because I was in the great yanak war."
son: "Father, I must do this!"
father: "No, son, you must not."
son: "Father, I promise to be here to meet you as soon as possible, farewell for now."
father: "Very well. Farewell."

dramatic, isn't it?
my only wish is to get featured, please help me do that!
PS, the young yanak is supposed to be filled, yanaks have transparent edges.
